Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

There are TENS, EMS, EPT foot massagers I am interested in buying in the next month or two. I take hot baths using the jets and a scrub bathbrush for an hour every AM and then rub a compounded gabapentin, lidocaine, NSAiD, topiramate cream when I get out oof the tub and my pores are the most open to take in the cream. That plus gabapentin 900 mg 3x a day has made the zapping/electrical/burning pain much better and now more numb. From my reading, the more you use and move your feet (ankle circles, back/forth, sideways the better.

I think what works for one will not necessarily work for another. Try one or two things and maybe you have one or two things I haven't thought of. Or maybe you do it another way.... I am glad the feet aren't as zapping/electric/burning as it was...I called it restless foot syndrome (as opposed to restless leg syndrome because the sheet, blankets and pillows would be all over the floor most nights. When I got up due to needing to go to the bathroom, get a drink and then I would need to walk around as it actually helps me to walk on these feet as far as the neuropathy pain issues. When it was at its worse, I'd walk around, finally get sleepy but not know it and fall down. While I was 30 lbs heavier, I would "bounce" and bruise but not break. Then I ended up breaking both wrists and dislocating one. It is hard to keep track of all the body parts that have problems, how about all of you?
