Welcome, @jlor
I have the burning pain in both of my feet, along with numbness and pins and needles up to my knees. I have small fiber peripheral neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy, as well. My pain level was greatly reduced when I had a spinal cord stimulator implant last year in June. I still have pain if I walk or stand on hard surfaces for very long at a time, and I put as much cushioning in my shoes as I can.
If your feet hurt from having blankets on them, you could get a blanket lifter to keep the bedding off your feet. My feet sometimes hurt where they rest on the bed. I have a feather pillow to rest them on, which often helps.
My pain is in the balls of my feet and my toes. My heels hurt, as well, but not as much.
Have you found things that relieve the pain, whether it's medication or mechanical things like a blanket lifter?
I suppose that by now you've found the discussion about neuropathy in the chronic pain group. It's an active discussion, with a number of people who have shared their experiences and asked lots of questions.

I have the Burst DR stimulator. The only concern I have is that the last time Kevin adjusted it, he said that the next step is to change the mode to a setting that would mean feeling the vibration all the time, which I thought I was avoiding by choosing the Burst DR. I might have to do that but I intend to put it off as long as possible. I'm treating the residual pain with morphine sulfate contin, at a low dose right now.

Jim, the funny thing, if it is funny, is that I'm able to sleep well at night. I wear the quell unit, it helped last year , not helping much now, it is basically like a distraction. Have tried lyrica, gabapentin, last year, now taking duloxetine and tramadol. No help so far.
Was looking into the implant. Was looking into the BURSTDR STIMULATION,
Also driving is becoming very painful, as it is basically my right foot. tested negative for small fiber neuropathy last year. Again, these symptoms went away from June to December last year. I'll try anything to get some relief.
