If conservative options fail, a spinal cord stimulator may be helpful. Consultation with a board certified interventional pain management physician may give you some additional options.
In treating neuropathic pain, it is important to diagnose the type of neuropathy, since this may be treatable. For neuropathic pain meds, gabapentin is good, and can be used in doses up to 900-1200 mg three times a day. Elavil or trileptal are other options. Sometimes anesthetic patches, creams or capsaicin can be helpful.

Dear Sir: Sorry to hear you are suffering.

Ideally, you should see your primary doctor, who can esatblish that you have Peripheral neuropathy, and if so, find from testing blood, and if needed electrodiagnostic study (Nerve conduction and EMG, if needed), and rarely to differentiate from other cause, do x-ray or MRI of spine. If diagnosis is confirmed and what type of neuropathy, and what nerves are causing your symptoms, then one can find better way to treat your symptoms; otherwise, you will taking all kinds of pain pills, and most DO NOT WORK. If diabetes, vitamin deficiency, then treatment is for specific cause is important; there are some medications, which helps; exercise, if you can is helpful for circulation; ideally see Neurologist, who is experienced in Neuropathy. Hope you satisfied with my answer. Wishing you best.
