I have hereditary polyneuropathy, had horrible shooting pains in my feet at night if I walk more than 8K steps. The ONLY thing that has helped calm the pain at night, is acupuncture. Have a great one in my community, I lucked out. Has not stopped the neuropathy from progressing, but I can sleep at night. I met a gentleman who is 10 years older than me, exact similar onset and issues; he does acupuncture and uses a TENS unit. Talked to my neurologist and acupuncturist about using a TENS, said it can't hurt. So I use it perhaps every other day. I figure if stimulation from acupuncture definitely helped (like night and day) this must do something positive! Good luck!
