Get the affected area moving. Don't overdo it, but do more than you are doing, but in a gentle manner. It seems counterintuitive to move the affected area if it's painful, but you can do it gently while seated and work your way up slowly. It's important to get the affected nerves to regenerate and get improved blood flow to the muscles and tissues. My foot had so much pain that I was suicidal, not because I wanted to die, but because it felt literally too painful to go on. After 9 months of physical therapy, I still need a wheelchair to grocery shop, but can do more around the house. My pain level can get injury level from walking or from hot temperatures, but not burning anymore. It still honestly sucks (not sure how else to put it) but it's definitely livable now.
