I just finished successful treatment for esophageal cancer but have developed neuropathy in feet with tingling when I walk. I have appointment to see accupuncture doc and wonder if anyone has had success?

Hi Don @dsh33782, In another discussion I saw a post by a member who was working with a supportive acupuncturist/Traditional Chinese medicine doctor referred her to this article and she was going to follow the protocol laid out in the article. Unfortunately the member is no longer following Connect so I'm not sure how it turned out.

Congratulations on your treatment. Always nice to hear good news. My husband has painful idopathic PN. Acupuncture brought him some relief as long as he continued going. The travel there and back took a lot of time so he stopped going. It appears from reading many posts over the years that people who have PN due to cancer treatment have a better chance of their PN getting better over time. Hope this helps.
