Peripheral Neuropathy and benign fasciculation syndrome.

I have had burning sensations under my both feet fore more than year. It started 2-3 weeks after the 3rd dose of my vaccine. As I was a distant runner, the specialists I visited last year were suspicious to an injury/tightness/nerve compression due to high volume of running.
Last may, for a month, I have episodes of electric shocks on both sides of my head and face. But it disappeared.
Suddenly, my symptoms got worse 4 month ago. Since then, I have experiencing new symptoms in addition to burning, including tingling, fasciculation (constantly in my calf, and sometime on my face, chest, arm, and back), pain on and under my arms, twitching in my outer ear!, burning sensation in my tongue, abdominal pain, etc.
My EMG and central nerve MRIs have been normal.
It's been more than a month since I started taking gabapentin. It has not been very helpful
It seems to me SFN is the culprit, looking at this link
Please let me know if anyone has experienced these symptoms. Any diagnosis? Treatment?

I had burning feet on a trip to Europe. Found that massage of the soles, or rolling a tennis ball under the foot helped. I also used biofreeze, in the absence of having a cold pack for my feet. There is such as thing as Red Ear Syndrome, linked to cervical back issues (??!!)
