I tried acupuncture for the first time for my hand and feet neuropathy. My head was so itchy after and my pain got worse. Should I try again?

I’ve been using acupuncture for 40 years, it’s an art form, so each provider can vary drastically. And some specialize in neuropathy. You have to listen to your body first. Ask if there’s someone who is good at this, and be sure to let them know your experience. I go to a college clinic. Some are good for pain and there’s one that specializes with cancer patients which is good. Ask about that and be sure to let them know if you’re getting treatment. Hope this helps.
