Melbury I suffer from neuropathy in my foot, but mine was caused through back surgery....But I know exactly how it feels

I have been on different medications, Gabapentin and Pregabalin did help a bit, but the side affects weren't good ( mainly the weight gain ). Tramadol doesn't give me any bad side affects, but neither does it do much for the pain......unfortunately nerve pain is very difficult to treat, and I have found that a sleeping pill is the best thing for me, not something I want to take, but it's either that or lying awake in pain....
Sounds obvious, but have you tried wearing socks in bed, especially if the bed covers bother you.
I would give the tramadol a try, maybe take them around 9pm, but not sure about drinking too

. Just had another thought, you could try Capsaicin cream.......it works by making your skin hot and tingly, sending messages to the nerves in your foot and confusing them.......
