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.

Good afternoon @donaldpickett and thank you @colleenyoung for the introduction. Foot neuropathy is fresh in my mind today. I just returned from a welcome and valuable hour of MFR (myofascial release) therapy for my feet. I have been an SFN (small fiber neuropathy) patient for six years now. I have had my time on gabapentin and find that it helps with the tingly hands better than my feet.

Are you ready for this? Ten days ago I came down with the new COVID omicron variant. I have managed to escape that tragedy for two years and then....all of a sudden it hit me. By far, the most painful part of my body since COVID is my feet. I was unable to go to my regular MFR therapy appointment and ended up having difficulty walking and sleeping because the pain was greater than the usual numbness. I tried elevating my feet without success.

I must say I am thrilled that after one hour of MFR I can wiggle my toes without pain once again. And, of course, when free of COVID I will be able to drive again. If you would like more information, please visit this site.

Do you think this might help? If you need help finding an Expert level therapist please let me know where you live. You can also find therapists on founder John T Barnes's website, http://www.myofascial.com.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
