Default Neuropathy Tightness

I have Peripheral Neuropathy and am experiencing what feels to be tightness in my feet, which is causing extra pain. I have heard that tendons can begin tightening with neuropathy, is this true. My toes are beginning to curl downward and it is painful to straighten them out. Any advice? I xcannot seem to get an answer!

Background: Neuropathy cause has not been determined. I have bulged disks in L4-L5, a narrow gap at S1, and undiagnosed diabetes type 2 for a long period of time (2-3 Years). Diabetes is now under control with medication (Last A1C was 5.9 down from a 13.7). I have had epidural injections, I am on Gabapentin (3600mg day), I have had extensive chiropractic care, and have tried every topical cream and oil known to man. No improvement. My specialists and neurologist are uncertain of the cause, but certain of the extent via EMG tests etc. Please help!

Jeff
