Try Aleve (naproxen): Otc dont tend to work so well for neuropathic pain but you can try Aleve (naproxen) or advil. Consult a pain physician for best options or a psychopharmacologist.

Have it evaluated.: If the symptoms are due to neuropathy, topical capsaicin may be helpful for some, while others may benefit with oral medications. Watch you sugar intake, and have your vitamin b levels checked and supplemented as necessary. Consult with your physician for an appropriate plan of care.
