Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help

I used thermo pads for a broken shoulder, attached to my long sleeve. I wouldn't use a neoprene sleeve or splint with it, however. Microwaveable heat is preferable to a heating pad. I like my "bed buddy" brand, and I also keep one in the freezer for other pain. I wonder: does capcasin cream help? It is supposed to help circulation, but may affect feeling, too.

I used a pair of Bed Buddies before the condition worsened. They heat for about 30 minutes or so, but now, however, I need heat throughout the night. I haven't found a lot of therapeutic-level heat unless the heating pad has an electric cord. // I haven't tried capsaicin for this situation, but I will give it a try.
