I've been on Symbalta. Its helped a bit, but still have a decent amount of pain and numbness. Its also a mild sedative so at least it helps me sleep

About 3 years ago I started getting tingling in my toes. That soon evolved into pain, and numbness. Eventually, I ended up having a small stroke. During the stroke it was discovered that I had an a1c of nine which is extremely high. I've gotten it under control now but the damage is done and I have full-blown neuropathy on my feet.
If you've gotten a comprehensive blood test, it will be in there. You can get a kit to test at home, but its not the most pleasant thing. A normal glucose test will give you most of what you need, can get those kits for pretty cheap. Mine was like $40 and enough to test daily for 3 months.
