Hi Andy, Welcome.
I'm kind of going through one right now, which I'm trying to figure out. It may be some kind of food trigger I got into.
For the burning pain, I learned about R-Lipoic Acid (and now a stabilized form, but I haven't noticed any difference) on this group. Since taking it (100 mg./day), I've not needed gabapentin or any other prescription for PN. It's been about a year & a half. I'm also taking D3, methyl B12, B5, and a few other supplements. My PN was regressing for a time before this flair. It hasn't progressed any further up my legs, but where it's always been in my feet, it seems to be getting worse of late. I have to stay on top of the edema with massage (pressing it out) every few days.
