@newtoni48 I have the same situation, polyneuropathy, idiopathic. Not given much hope by doctors. Will try acupuncture. Will report back.

Yeah, they just pat you on the head send you on your way.
My routine at least is making life manageable and mostly pain free.
I had amazing results from acupuncture for rotator cuff tear pain about 30 years ago.
I'm curious to hear how it works out for you.
Haven't tried for my neuropathy since I've had a lot of success with what I'm doing currently (my engineering brain won't let go).
Acupoints and trigger points do seem to help. I've used acupressure and trigger point work for referred neuropathy pain frequently and they seem to help; particularly points in the shin for top of foot and toe zinging.
