Perhaps, but the nixie didn't light up in his situation....
For most purposes, even cheap multimeters can do very nicely.

I once had the same problem with a cheap multimeter... The fuse was
still working, but the current measurement just did not work. No
problems with my new multimeter..

You should be able to measure the current that way.
Did you also insert the red lead into the mA connector of your meter?
If it still does not work, perhaps you have a blown fuse inside your
meter.
Of cource, measuring the voltage across the resistor and doing the math
works also, and is often more practical too.
