I also have neuropathy loss of feeling and tingling in my feet up through my calves. I have been prescribed gabapentin and have tried it however the side effects are bad for me and I felt no real benefit from the gabapentin. I stopped the gabapentin after about six weeks. I tried it again about two years later and again decided there were no benefits and the side effects were not acceptable. I think I am lucky because while I have the numbing and loss of feeling, I don’t have pain Like many others so if you have pain, there may be a benefit from gabapentin. But not so far for me.
