Wish I could do acupuncture! I can't because I am on Coumadin!
Also, my Neurologist, recommended Lidocaine 4% cream for my number in my feet!
Works really well Numbness is a lot less, especially in my right foot. It almost feels normal! I use it 2×per day,morning and evening. It is OTC. It comes in a roll on form which is what I use! Make sure it is NOT MENTHOL.
Hope this helps, Pat

Thank you for replying. Can you use this cream on your hands? My numbness is severe there and it’s hard to find something that is effective there. I’m not sure I can get this cream here as an OTC either. I will ask my doctor about it. I live in Canada so it may be unavailable. You sound like you are living well with this illness. I am 75 now so I’m not as active as you are.I need to use a walker and I’m unable to get along without it. All the best to you. Hugs.
