Severe Neuropathy in legs and feet and not a diabetic or alcoholic

Unfortunately, my B12 was so low for several years the nerve damage is not reversing. I take monthly b12 (cyanocobalamin 1000 MCG) injections to keep my numbers within a normal range. I lack intrinsic factor due to severe gastritis and cannot absorb B12 from foods or oral supplements.
I have tried and failed with gabapentin, lyrica, and cymbalta. I now take Tramadol for the pain. I am awaiting a trial at the end of this month of the Boston Scientifics SCS. I am hopeful for success.

Did your other symptoms such as fatigue and weakness go away?

Have you tried any additional supplements to see if they might help with the nerve pain? The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of complementary and alternative treatments that include supplements that have shown to help some folks with neuropathy - https://www.foundationforpn.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Complementary-and-Alternative-Treatments-Revised-2020-final.-1.pdf
