Hi @ktpatton, Welcome to Connect. Sorry to hear you are struggling to find something to provide relief for your symptoms. You are not alone. I don't have the pain with my neuropathy, just the numbness in the feet/legs. I posted my story earlier on Connect in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.

You mentioned a pinched nerve which I'm wondering if it may be the cause of your symptoms. There is another discussion on Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) that has helped some members. Here is a link to the discussion - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain/

You also mentioned having tried various different medicines without much help. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of complementary and alternative treatments listed here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Complementary-and-Alternative-Treatments-Revised-2020-final.-1.pdf

Have you tried any complementary or alternative treatments to see if they might help?

Thank you for your input. I will check out your links. I don't have a pinched nerve to my knowledge. That must be from another post. I have only tried a few medicines and some massage and soaking, so I will check out the complementary or alternative treatments. The pain has increased a lot in the past few months, so I need to explore other remedies. Thanks.
