feet neuropathy

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.

Hello @jlor, welcome to Mayo Connect. We are glad you found us and hoping you can find some answers. Can I ask how you found out you have neuropathy in your feet? Did your doctor have any nerve tests done to determine if you have neuropathy?

Mayo Clinic has a symptom checker that you may want to take a look at:
-- https://www.mayoclinic.org/symptom-checker/foot-pain-or-ankle-pain-adult/related-factors/itt-20009075

Also, burning/tingling feet can be an indication of diabetic neuropathy if you have diabetes. I'm tagging @gman007 and @jimhd to see if they have any suggestions. In the meantime you might want to read through the active discussion "Living with Neuropathy - Welcome to the group". Here is the link to the discussion:

I actually have not been seen or been diagnosed by a doctor. However, I have been doing a lot of research and the symptoms that everyone in this platform are describing are exactly what i have been experiencing the past year and a 1/2.
Have not seen a doctor, due to Covid.
This pain just started "Out of the Blue One Day"
I woke up one morning and could barely walk.
The Pain was in the upper part of my foot, between the middle and the crease that begins the front of the ankle joint (Right Foot)
At first the pain stayed a few weeks and then went away. A few months later, it was back!
It has continued to come and go randomly ever since.
Recently, the pain has become an incredible deep burning sensation, almost, in the bones themselves.
The weird thing is, the pain moves at random every so often. It shows up closer to the middle part of the top of my foot and continues to where my toes begin..
TOP RIGHT FOOT NEAR ANKLE JOINT is it's favorite place.

HELP!!!!!!!

I've tried using topical medication creams, wrapping it with athletes tape, massagers, soaking in epson's salts, LOTS of ADVIL, elevating my feet at night, Hot compress, Cold compress.
All have done some good, but just temporary.
Then randomly, IT'S GONE!
AND then, a few months later..... IT'S BACK!!!!
Thanks so much!!!

Has anyone tried or heard of RFA-radio frequency ablation to deactivate the nerves in the toes that were damaged during surgery?

@martyk - There are a few discussions that discuss radiofrequency ablation.

-- Radiofrequency Ablation for SI joint pain: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/radiofrequency-ablation-for-si-joint-pain/
-- Knee and hip nerve ablation: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/knee-and-hip-nerve-ablation/

Here's some information from Mayo Clinic that discusses the procedure - "Radiofrequency neurotomy uses heat generated by radio waves to target specific nerves and temporarily turn off their ability to send pain signals. The procedure is also known as radiofrequency ablation. Needles inserted through your skin near the painful area deliver the radio waves to the targeted nerves." -- Radiofrequency neurotomy: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/radiofrequency-neurotomy/about/pac-20394931

I had almost the exact same thing happen starting in November 2021 several days after my first Shingles vaccine, it’s gotten so bad some days walking is excruciating and I’ve started having some tingling and numbness.
