Hi there.

From what you have described, this could be indeed a neuropathic type of pain.  This can be addressed with drugs like Gabapentin or Pregabalin (but this should be discussed with her doctors first).  Neuropathic pain are unique in that the exact pathology or problem can be very hard to pinpoint, and relief is likewise very hard to achieve.  Some people would resort to alternative forms of treatment such as accupunture or accupressure.

It is also important to rule out anatomical or structural problems with foot such as bone spurs causing nerve compressions.  This can be worked out through standard X-rays of the foot, or tests like NCV (nerve conduction velocity).
