Has anyone found a treatment that helps with peripheral neuropathy?

Haven't found anything that really helps...in fact somethings that are suppose to help actually feel like it makes it worse... Like ALA....Nitric Oxide...
Little scared of Vitamin B12 because we are told too much can cause your neuropathy to be worse??
What I know... I don't remember having this before Covid... So I think mine is Covid related, This year..yea it took this long for me to figure out...Heat makes it worse, like a hot tub, shoes that are ventilated well...or soft enough
luckily my job isn't on my feet all day...I can sit for minutes and let my feet calm down before I have to go again...
If I had a job that kept me on my feet all day...I would have to retire or change jobs, and at 69years old I prefer to stay here and retire from this one...
There are good days....good nights and there are bad.. If its a bad night, my feet up to my knees will hurt and I found if I put my feet out of the cover into the cool air of the room it helps...
I've tried peptides...probably didn't give them a fair chance... might try again ARA290....if you would like to research it...
I guess I'll try Vitamin B12 METHYLCOBALAMIN.... I'll try anything at this time..
Good Shoes help...... NB 1080 are like walking on mashmellows..... Hokas Cliftons... I also like Skeckers Slip on's MAX Comfort but you need to try them because the comfort isn't always the same with Skeckers

Try knee high compression socks . They are sold at some drug stores, online, etc. Also, for less $ i find Bombas has some great ones . They have luxury socks and some of most comfortable i have ever worn, which is why they are m i re than regular socks, but still less than medical type (probably since with prescription some insurance will pay for med socks). Another thing I found helpful is swimming. If you can't swim, just walk around in pool.
I am assuming that you have gone to a doctor, but saying you "think" it might be from COVID makes me think you have self diagnosed and trying to treat sympons rather than cause. Because common causes of peripheral neuropathy include:
-Diabetes
-Autoimmune Diseases (e.g., Guillain-Barré syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus)
-Infections (e.g., shingles, Lyme disease, hepatitis B and C, HIV/AIDS)
-Medications (such as certain chemotherapy drugs)
-Toxins and Heavy Metal Exposure (e.g., lead, mercury, arsenic)
-Vitamin Deficiencies (especially B1, B6, and B12) or Vitamin B6 Toxicity
-Chronic Alcohol Use
-Inherited Disorders (e.g., Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease)
-Kidney or Liver Disease
-Hypothyroidism
-Tumors and Vascular Issues
