I had vasculitis - blood supply cut off to toes - gangrene and lost two toes and several parts of toes - numb feet up to outer side of knees. I now have slight feeling returning to arches and parts of soles of feet but shattered nerves in feet and legs have left me with very ultra sensitive feet at skin level.To walk bare-footed is very painful even on the lawn - like walking on gravel and I feel every tiny lump and bump underfoot.
My question is can anyone suggest a food, mineral, or treatment which will hasten the healing of nerves and return my feet to normal? I've given up all the pain relief except an oxynorm at night so I can sleep. The shooting pains,'electric shocks' and burning pains that keep attacking my feet, especially at night, keep me awake and then I get dreadful restless legs and can be awake all night wriggling, kicking, walking the floor and almost going nuts!! HALP!! Di Pannell.
