Hey everyone,
My husband was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy about 3 months ago after years of complaining to the dr about the numbness and tingling in his hands and feet. He is on gabepentin now and that helps to an extent. But when he puts his feet down from being up in the recliner all night they hurt real bad. Any suggestions for that type of pain?

The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of different treatments if you haven't already looked through them - https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/

Has he tried any of the over the counter creams or lotions for the feet to see if they offer and relief?
