Tom,
My mom is three years post tx and has neuropathy in her feet and legs. It wasn't easy finding something that made her more comfortable, but after a quite a bit of trial and error she found some relief with a cocktail of Lamictal, Cymbalta and Lyrica. If you haven't done so already, you may want to take a look at the web site neuropathy.org. I found it helpful and was given some good ideas. I spoke with one person who found relief soaking her feet in a mixture of water, asprin and caspian. It may sound unconventional, but who cares if it works. I hope you're able to find some relief.
