I usually start with a warm bath. I try to relax and put my feet in the hot water. Then I put them up on the bathtub for a few minutes to try and relax. Sometimes that will work and I will just go to bed after but there are many nights that I have really painful nights. My pain is in the bottom of both feet so I ordered these slippers that are ice packs from Amazon. I will put them on and then slip on these bootie slippers that I have and it will keep them on my feet. I always wear some socks to protect my skin but eventually it gets cold enough that it helps with the pain and I can take it off. I hate taking too much pain medication because it messes with my sleep so I try this. I hope this helps you!

Gabapentin is what my doctor gave me. It helps a lot but doesn’t take care of it. Very painful on my legs and running water or anything on them hurts. I end up wearing no pants at home and hate it when I have to go out

The combo of gabapentin and nortriptyline is what helped me.
