Hi @donaldpickett, welcome. I added your question to this existing discussion:
- Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/foot-neuropathy/

I did this so you can easily connect with other members dealing with foot neuropathy and finding solutions that provide relief, members like @jimhd @user_che214927 (Barry), @artscaping @helennicola and many others.

I can see where soaking in cold water can become a bother to do, but it is a simple and cheap solution if it is working.

Please let us know if your going to go with a spinal cord stimulator. They usually have a 7 or 10 day trial.

I am in a similar situation. I have bad neuropathy in feet and ankles and am taking gabapentin and cymbalta. The cymbalta seems to lessen the pain somewhat but I don't detect any relief from the gabapentin. I am also scheduled for a spinal stimulation procedure in 3 weeks. I am going with the NEVRO System because I have been told it was developed primarily for neuropathy.
Thanks for the tip of soaking feet with cold water. I bought a foot soaker with massaging rolls etc which seems to help but haven't tried cold water yet.
Good luck with your spinal stimulation procedure.

I too have what you do, and worse at night. I have found that when I apply a CBD balm that has menthol or peppermint in it, I get enough relief to fall asleep. I have used several different brands and strengths. Purchased at CBD stores, in grocery stores and companies in n the internet.
