My neuropathy started with twitching which my neurologists insist are benign fasciculations. Truthfully I don't care what they call it as long as it stops because they made it impossible to sleep. I had the burning and all the other sensations you are describing but at the beginning they were not as much an issue as they later became. I am on Gabapentin but I am looking to get off it. Some people are helped by it. I am looking for a doctor to prescribe a topical with Gabapentin and other ingredients that I can use as needed instead.
Some things to try:
Slow Mag (1 in the morning and 1 at night with a meal)
Morton's Epsom Lotion
Aspercreme with Lidocaine (some people prefer Menthol instead)
Check some of the threads on topical creams and supplements. There is a wealth of information. I hope this helps.
