Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

It really depends on what is causing it. I know you said neuropathy but still, that has causes. I had monthly steroid injections into my right heel for most of the last year, by a great foot/ankle surgeon. Suddenly, it's stopped. Thank God. I've been using compression socks for years, they helped too. I had one really big bunion, on the right foot removed. That helped a lot because my greatest pain came from that one source, doing stabs of pain like lightening, whenever it felt like it. Of course, recovery from bunion surgery wasn't painless, but it's healed now. I've used Mentholatum (generic) rub all over the painful parts, in years past. I've got lidocaine lotion to put on it too. I found an NSAID topical gel while in Scotland, UK, back in 2017, called Voltaren, and it's now sold OTC in the USA too. It helps with so much. If you aren't taking something systemic for neuropathy, I'd look into it if it continues to be part of your daily life. Gabapentin works nicely on me for that, as my neuropathy is poly (many) places, not just one foot.

I use Voltaren and lidocaine lotion and magnesium gel.
Can you say the level of gabapentin you take and tine of day? Any side effects?
Thank you
