Foot neuropathy: What gives you relief?

I have small fiber neuropathy in my feet with my biggest issue being super hot, achy feet. I tried ten sessions of acupuncture and each time she would also give me a laser treatment. All was paid out of pocket and did nothing to help me. But it was worth a try, everyone is different.

Same foot problems for years. During almost every day it hits a 10 on the pain scale. I tried four sessions of acupuncture but had a death in the family and did not continue. The 4 sessions did not help at all. And I had laser treatment a few years back and it didn't help either. I agree that everyone is different. I've noticed that a lot of us go out of pocket because we are desperate. Good luck!!! Anything that works for you, please let me know.

Same. Hot & feels like I'm wearing a shoe that's a size too small, even when I'm barefoot. I find myself soaking my feet in cool water multiple times a day. It's the only thing that relieves the pain, if only for a few minutes. My pain doc suggested tens & laser too, which I considered but I'm tired of throwing money at a problem that can't be fixed. I really don't know what brand of neuropathy I have, since I haven't had a skin biopsy, but it's sensory, not motor. Not sure it matters because my neurologist just gives me drugs to sample. Settled on Gabapentin.
