Do you have your diabetes and glucose levels under control? Are you being properly treated for diabetes by an endocrinologist? This will make neuropathy worse if not controlled. Have you tried compression socks to help minimize the sensations? What about nerve pain creams like capsaicin or those with lidocaine? Have you tried taking alpha Lipoic acid, acetylene l carnitine, magnesium and other supplements that help relieve some nerve pain? Have you ever been prescribed Cymbalta or Duloxetine which can help with nerve pain (and depression with chronic pain)? Do you have a therapist or psychologist to help you cope with chronic pain?

My glucose is probably not great. Compression socks, I’ve tried a few times but no go. I use a product called Nervive which works good for a bit and other times I use foot spray to help with the hot/burning sometimes and that helps some. No therapist or psychologist because I’m not interested in that plus only my wife works so that gets expensive. Thanks though I appreciate all the suggestions!
