Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

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.

Welcome @tomm547, I also have neuropathy but only the numbness which medication doesn't help. Hoping you get some relief with soaking the feet with cold water as suggested by @donaldpickett. Since you mentioned spinal cord simulators I thought you might be interesting in this discussion:

Is your appointment in 3 weeks for a spinal cord simulator trial to see how it goes?

I wait until the pain wakes me and soak for 10 min.....put some ice in the water. I listen to the TV I usually have to do it twice each night.
