Re: Acupuncture for Neuropathy

I tried acupuncture a few weeks ago after damaging my toe (caught on door) - Not broken but extremely swollen. While there I told Acupuncturist that I had stiffness in my leg and back. I was unsure whether stiffness due to bone met or slight back problem. He suggested acupuncture, massage and cupping for it. When I left I had less swelling in toe - he worked on nerves in that area - and I was walking easier. Definitely felt the benefit of it although for 4 days after I was exhausted. When I saw him 2 weeks later I told him about my reaction - he said this was because my immune system weak and that treatment would help it. Not sure whether I believe all but I do feel better so going to continue going every few weeks.
Re nerve damage in toe - no pain and can wear shoes without discomfort. My Sister did same thing 6 months ago and didn't have any treatments on it and is still in pain!!

Reckon there's something to this and worth a try!!
