@agu Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Neuropathy can certainly be uncomfortable, and I can personally attest to that.

From what I have read, acupuncture can help neuropathy in some cases. Do you have a practitioner you can ask about their experience in handling this situation? And, be sure to check with your insurance to find out about coverage! There seems to be some hesitation for covering this, by some companies.

Another possible relief for you may be massage. Have you tried that? I have neuropathy in my left foot/leg, and use massage on myself, after having been taught by a wonderful gal how to do it myself!
