Acupuncture

Does anyone know if acupuncture or electrodes work for chemo neuropathy?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

I would also like info on this subject. After going the gamut in different interventions and pills, I am ready to try something different.

I am also interested in hearing if acupuncture helps relief the pain from PN.

I did 4 sessions of acupuncture and didn’t get any relief . I have PN due to chemotherapy. Also took high doses of B12 and they didn’t help . I have endured pain, numbness, tingling and burning for 10 yrs.

I have had acupuncture for chronic pain It helped immensely. I stopped and it has been several years since I have issues, now they are from anti MAG. If I still lived in Houston I would go back to it

I currently receive acupuncture 1x monthly and during the winter months it was every other week. As an adjunct therapy to my biweekly massage and biweekly Myofascial Release it works very well. There are no electrodes that do along with acupuncture whom ever asked that question previously. They are very thin needles without a lumen. For me acupuncture alone did not stop or decrease my pain. My current pain relief is a combination of micro-dosing THC/CBD 3x daily, THC/CBN for sleep, buprenorphine patch 20mcg, twice daily stretching and walking 2 miles daily including the additional adjunct therapies I mentioned. I haven’t needed any breakthrough Percocet for a long time. You need to find what works and don’t settle for a level of pain that makes life more challenging.
