@mcd123, I personally have not tried acupuncture. My mother believed it helped her with her painful rheumatoid arthritis and there are a few discussions you might want to read to learn what other members experiences have been.

MS patient…Cbd spray oil helps my pain in my feet and hands, especially when I go to bed. I have been using it for several years now and it is the only medication that has helped me consistently
over 30 years of nerve pain and pins and needles. I order it from British Columbia, shipping price is higher than most places but it works for me!
I hope this helps with your decision.

Hi Cathy-
I can't believe I reaad this! I have a toe on my left foot that starts to fire up in the afternoon and is like an ice pick stabbing pain. Up all night and nothing helps. Now this week I have 2 toes on my right foot doing it- I want to amputate them! FYI- I have had ideopathic bilateral neuropathy in both feet for about 10 years. I take 3300 mg gabapentin, cymbalta and klonopin ( 1 mg at night ) . Nothing helps with the toes. Luann
