Are there any new medicines on the market for diabetic nerve pains?

I have tried the Lyrica and gabapentin. I just can't tolerate the side effects.

I don’t know if it would help but I use a topical foot lotion and I add Rosemary essential oil, peppermint oil, chamomile essential oil and frankincense. I use it daily and if it acts up at night I apply it and it calms it down.
