Hello Debbie!
Sorry that you're getting this. It sounds to me like neuropathy. Talk to your neuro, or dr.
My feet hurt so badly in the morning, all I do is say ouch ouch ouch when I first try to walk.
I had to get New Balance sneakers (always had them since rsd), but in a wider size.
I get discoloration in my feet, and sometimes they swell so badly, I can't wear any shoes.
(I missed a Very important funeral due to that) How do you explain?

Sometimes I soak my feet in the tub, with some epsom salts, and after, or after I bathe,
I spray them with anti perspirant, and rub them with Eucerin calming itch relief. (it's got oatmeal and menthol in it). very nice. (We can be our own compounding pharmacist!)
Then, on go the socks, make sure they're not too tight.

Other than that, you can try to cut a lidoderm patch, and apply it where you can / where it hurts the most.

Unfortunately, this is a peripheral thing, and it's hitting my hands too.

I wish you the very best as always, Debbie!

Pete
