Hi

Do you live in the US ? Do you have any type of medical insurance? What kind of specialist did you see, and did a neurologist or rheumatologist diagnose the neuropathy? What kind of medicine were you on for the neuropathy symptoms?
The OTC antiinflamatory meds etc. probably will not help that much for the burning neuropathy, but will help the inflamatory arthritis pain.
( this is just my "take" on it)
There are antidepressant medication that works well on nerve pain. And also antiseizure medication. They are all prescription meds.
There are OTC creams that might help.

Mrs D. will be able to mention a list of supplements and topical OTC creams
that will help with the pain.

It would be good, and very important, if you could find a good neuromuscular specialist doctor to fallow you and help you with the neuropathy symptoms.

Did you have diagnostic tests like EMG NCS and punch skin biopsy? The burning sensation you mentioned, could be symptoms of (and most likely) Small Fiber Neuropathy.

All the best wishes for you.
Synnove.
