Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

I have had numbness in the feet and left hand since taking chemo for cancer. The best relief I have found is taking a gabapentin (100mg) at bedtime and rubbing on Mineral Ice. The feet seem to bother me most at night and this combination gives me some relief in order to get to sleep.

Two things I have tried that work. One, when you wake with the pain apply a prescription Lidocaine patch and the pain goes away. It does not work if you apply earlier. Recently I watched a Mayo video on YouTube and the doctor said to soak your feet in cold water for 10 mins. I add ice to be even colder. I wait until I wake with pain and soak for 10 and watch the TV. It works great.
