Hi @plbelanger Beside the pins and needles and the numbness, what kind of other pain do you have in your feet? My wife has terrible burning in both feet which chooses different places to be the most severe from one day to the next, sometimes it's her heels, sometimes the tops of her feet, etc. For the past two months she has been getting some relief using a homeopathic based product called Penetrex. She says she averages about a 30% reduction in pain. Not exactly fantastic, but something. I posted about it several weeks back, here is the link to the page with my post.

I hope you find some ways to cope with your pain. Peripheral Neuropathy can be a horror show of an affliction. I'm the caregiver who has to has to have his heart broken many days watching the one he loves suffer. All my best, Hank
