Benfotiamine is definitely also worth trying.

Far Infrared Sauna may help. Increases circulation.

Which kind of B vitamins are you taking.

I took a B complex and a powdered B12 sublingual, with very good results.
No more numbness.
I took the B12 twice a day for a couple months to reduce the neuropathic pain.

I would try a soak in Epsom Salts and cool off in

cold after. It seems to help me.

The B12 injections seem to help the nerves too.
