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.

I hate to give up but I’m having trouble maintaining the same level of fight that I started with after so many false starts. Something strange just resurfaced. Many years ago when I was just diagnosed there was a suggestion that statins might cause neuropathy. Then I was told by my doctor that a study was done that disproved that theory. I continued the statins and pushed through the side effects. One of my sisters immediately gave up the statins. Today she is running around caring for her sick husband and going into the city (Manhattan) with her grandchildren while I can barely walk from one room to another. I will let my doctor know I am stopping the statins. Too late, probably, but maybe it will slow the decline and avoid needing a wheel chair.
