How Can Severe Numbness In The Hand Be Treated?

I am at the end of my rope with neuropathic pain in my feet. Ive had it for about 7-8 years and bad for 3 years. the last year it has become so debilitating physically, mentally and emotionally. im on so many medication, 3600mg gabapentin, 120mg cymbalta, amatryptaline, topomax, tylenol..im dumb from the neck up and feel my life is over. so i stopped all meds except my blood pressure and gout meds. that liked to havekilled me but i did it. my feet are going to be the death of me but i can think and feel and see and hear now i still tremble and have numbness in my hands because the nerve damage is there also. but i want to do things now. i lost 15 pounds so far just being off the meds. i tried walking, my driveway 50 feet...good. 70 yards at a friends marina, down to a bridge and 70 yards back to my truck...within 6 hours all the skin on the bottom of both feet was blistered and within a week the soles of both feet had come off to raw like a burn. i would have both feet amputated if i could have a life again. is there anything that can be done? i had back surgery in nov of 2016, while on oxycodone it helped my feet but i dont want to be stuck with that but i would if i could get a life back for awhile. but these new laws in ky the doctors wont give ya any unless your dyin... i dont know what to do please help me..im ready to die
