I don't think there are any medications that will help with numbness. You might find the following discussion helpful - Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/neuropathy-numbness-only-no-pain/

My neurologist, Medical Univ So Carolina....said gabapentin is only for pain and will not treat numbness.I took for 3 years and it never did a thing. I don't have pain, only numbness.
