Thanks so much for the reply!
No. My PCP sent me to a neurologist who wanted only to give me Gabapentin, even after I told him it wasn't working. I don't see him anymore.

I have this too.
Has your doc checked the pulse in your feet, like right under the ankle ?
I had to go for an ultra sound on the legs ,can check it yourself or have a friend

Had that. Didn't do well on gabapentin prescribed by my regular doctor. My neurologist proscribed R-Lipoic Acid 300 mg 2ce a day and burning is gone. This is an expensive over-the-counter drug but get from Amazon or a good pharmacy, not CVS etc.
If you can, sorts understand that I wrote this not normal. I’ had a bicycle accident 12 yrs ago that changes my brain to TBI.
My pain and loose of my feeling happened 2-3 years ago in my garage in my back legs down to my back to me feet.
For me, right now, if I need these for pain is IBUPROFEN 800s (I usually cut 1/2 to 400). Using my other meds at anti-seizure that was made in ‘round 1990’s was made for pain < —- GABAENTIN,
At the end of 1900’s this med was used for anti-seizure that works for, but doesn’t work my pain < —- GABAENTIN 800 and I add LACOSAMIDE for another anti-seizure.
Next month a doctor - the same one who supper tiny drill one the top of my head 12 yrs ago - will “fix” my balance, pain, be able to walk - that leaves me to a better place —- I hope, according to him.
He will working for 6 hours and helping of what I did 20 yrs ago what’s another good doctor I got pain and can’t running again. I changed runnung to bicycle ridding.
I have chronic idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy and started to use Nabosco's Neuro Insoles. They do overwrite the hyper-sensation of my feet and make walking and running more tolerable.
Note: I am not affiliated with Nabosco. My goal is to make my condition more livable and share my learnings.

Thank you for sharing this info. Will check it out for my husband, who has been suffering increasingly more painful neuropathy in both feet. His old standby (Vick's) has not been as effective as it used to be for him. His neurologist prescribed Cymbalta, but my hubby researched the drug and decided (just as I did years ago when prescribed to me by a different doctor) that he did not want to take on all the issues that the drug could introduce into his already complicated health history. He has been taking 600 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid for years, and certainly seems as if it has lost its efficacy. So again I say "Gracias" for this possible new lead in his quest for relief. I commiserate with him and anyone who suffers to the degree that he does because I've had peripheral neuropathy for about 12 yrs, most painful being my feet, but the dose of ALA that I take (300 mg) does help me the majority of the time. But I have way more CNS and pain syndromes than he does, all which makes my own daily living very challenging. Nevertheless, my heart aches when I observe how painful it is for him to ambulate only when necessary within our home, and see the effects of lost sleep and suffering etched in his face. We schedule errands and walks around his "foot pain factor" and are grateful for the days that he is dealing with more tolerable pain. Last year, I gifted him for Father's Day, a multi position recliner which allows him to press buttons to adjust his lumbar, head and feet positions. He finds that having his legs/feet full elevated does bring some relief. He often can fall asleep in that position, allowing for some recuperation. I love seeing how peaceful and relaxed his facial expression is when asleep in the recliner.

See a Neurologist for one thing.
