I too have Peripheral Neuropathy, it’s been about 6 years or so since it started. I believe the cause is from either damage to my feet from standing on my feet for 10 hours straight/5 days a week at work or when I was getting burning itchy welts all over my body-my only relief was to scratch my feet on the concrete steps at the front of the house. My pain has gotten gradually worse over the years and I’ve tried EVERYTHING- Lyrica, Gabapentin, T1s, Vitamin B12, CBD/THC, magnesium, custom orthotics, compression socks, hot/cold foot baths, stretching, massage therapy. Nothing works! My pain has gotten so bad that I’ve had to call off work the last 2 days because it’s so painful to walk. I am using a walker just to take some of the pressure off my feet. I too have high blood pressure and am on meds for that and my thyroid. Yup I am a mess!! Sorry I’m not much help here but I am commenting to let you know you’re not alone and to follow your feed to learn more and talk to others going thru the same thing.
Best of luck,
Kristin

Kristin, are you taking anything now to help give you some relief?
Gabapentin helps me get through the night. During the day I’m using a cream called Naturulz ultimate healing cream on legs. Amazon has it. It’s a world of hurt isn’t it. So sorry!
