My neuropathy pain is constant, feet burn, feel swollen, toes are numb, pins and needles feeling constant. Am mostly bedridden use cane for support to get to bathroom. Have tried all the usually recommended meds: gabapentin etc. Pain effects my appetite, causing nausea, so have lost 30 lbs i am very small 5 ft now weighing 97 and very weak. Neuropathy pain burning in hands as well but not nearly as bad as feet. Lidocaine roller used to help temporarily. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome @helptony2025, It sometimes is a full time job trying to find something to provide relief for your neuropathy pain. Sorry to hear that it also effects your appetite and hoping you can find something that helps soon. You might find it helpful to scan through the many different discussions and comments from members on burning feet what helps - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/.
The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of treatments and therapies that might be helpful to look through to see if there is something that you have not already tried - https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/.
Have you tried any chair exercises or chair yoga to help build up or maintain some strength?
