Default Nutrition help for neuropathy?

For the last 3 months I have been in bed with the worst inner ankle and foot pain.On a good day I can do errands in an air boot though the neuro wants me to start using the shoe.Anyhow this comes with tingling on the bottom and stabbing. It feels like there is no circulation around the ankle. In addition the calf of both legs hurt and feel tight. I have had every test 2 mri's,emg,bone scans,xrays. Been to neurologist,orthopedics,foot/ankle specialists,gp. I have had multiple blood tests for deficiencies. I do have high liver ezymes and high b12 along with low white blood but not a concern the docs said. The foot ankle doc thought it may be tarsal tunnel and I had 2 shots. Possibly surgery though no test showed tts.The neuro thinks its neuropathy and though better now may be from years of anorexia. I'm doing the best I have and still on high meal plan with just a small amount to gain left. Anyhow I was taking b12 but the neuro said since high to reduce for a week. Can anyone share any nutrition things that helped there nerve issues or anything else that helps? I have an apt at pm clinic in a week and tried pt once but made it way worse. We still don't have a definate dx but am waiting for my 2nd mri of foot/ankle back.I don't know how any of the tests don't show and I'm in this severe of pain. I also have been on lyrica,cymbalta,neurontin all which I had side effects and now am suppose to try elavil. Thank you for any help.
