Marksmom, I'm encouragd to hear that your neurologist is considering complementary therapies like acupuncture and massage for neuropathy.
I moved your question about acupuncture to this discussion that @judypall started a while back and has received loads of comments. See

Several members like @scgraham @greenacres @momalin @ken82 @hypotemusea @teslachan @jetsetter @jack57 @carlossierra1287 @runnergirl @pogo and many more share their experiences. Some found relief while others didn't. Everyone is different of course. 🙂

Thank you so much Colleen for sending me replies from members regarding the benefits of acupuncture etc. It is wonderful having some support and information instead of dealing with this upsetting problem alone!

@marksmom Dry needling worked great for me for my nerve pain from sciatica. I had the pain in my right buttocks, right hamstrick, outside of both shins, and the bottom of both feet. He PT dry needled in my buttocks region where he believe the S1 nerve pain originated from. It took about an hour and was very painful but IT WORKED. At least for a couple of months and it was not that expensive. He since moved on and I have not been able to find another PT with his level of skill, unfortunately.
