Suggest Treatment For Tingling Sensation In Foot

I had a heart attack May 31 2014. I was shocked nine times, no pulse 8 min... then I finally got a pulse, they installed a stent as I had a 100 pct blockage going into my heart..I m lucky to be here. My right foot was tingling when I woke up three days later and has been tingling since... the months later. My neurologist says pinched nerve that takes a long time to heal. Some nights it just starts throbbing so bad I can t sleep... my big toe feels like someone is holding a lighter to it....what s best meds for nerves damaged like that?
