Default Small fiber neuropathy not getting better or worse - advice?

My feet have been burning for 3.5 years now, which was probably caused by prescription drugs ( I stopped taking them soon after my symptoms appeared). For the past few years it hasn't really gotten better or worse. I've had tons of tests done and everything has turned out normal. I've even had a skin punch biopsy (they took a sample from just above my ankle) and the nerve fibers in that were normal.

The pain is tolerable if there isn't much pressure on my feet, but if I'm standing for a while it starts to get pretty bad. I also found out that if I have a couple alcoholic drinks, it can get really bad for the next week or so afterward.

I've tried lots of supplements, acupuncture, Anodyne therapy, and nothing has helped. Is there anything else (other than drugs to mask the pain) I could try? Or perhaps it could also be a condition besides neuropathy? I'm only in my 20's, so the idea that I might have this for the rest of my life is frustrating.

Any advice is appreciated!
