I got for neuropathy from chemo. I do take tramadol but I'm not sure it does anything I just noticed when I don't take it it seems to get worse but when I can't sleep and my feet hurt me so much I bought these socks from Amazon that have packs in them that you freeze and I put the socks on my feet and it's so relieving and I finally go to sleep. I think unfortunate because when my feet hurt the worst it's when I'm in bed at night and that's all I can think about is that feeling in my feet but during the day I guess I'm just so busy I don't think about it so it doesn't bother me as much. I did try gabapentin but it makes my hands shake it jumps onto things on that I don't want it to jump on when I'm typing so I quit using it didn't seem much help anyway
