I relate to much of what you are going through. Nine years ago, I had major surgery for a rare tumor in my spinal cord. Damage from the tumor and surgery resulted in numbness, tingling, burning, and neuropathy in my legs and feet. I’ve been taking 300 milligrams of gabapentin since my surgery to help calm down my legs and feet at night so I can sleep. It continues to work for me along with walking 2-4 miles per day, strength building exercises, PT once a week, cutting out inflammatory foods (sugar makes it worse). Movement is the answer. Recommend you find a very good physical therapist who can help you start slowly. Best of luck to you!

@bsr2016 Thanks for your response. You've had some rough times. Glad to see that you are able to get out there, walking, doing PT, etc. I wish I could do the same. Exercise ramps up my pain. Walking is problematic because every step is so painful. Riding my bike is also problematic. I tried PT, but the guy gave me a one size fits all program that only increased my pain. I guess I'll look for a different PT. Be blessed.
