For several months I have had right below my left knee a nerve that stings when touched. The area around it stays numb. My left foot at the biggest part of the fifth metatarsal has shooting, burning pain that comes and goes. Everytime I sit down and elevate my feet in a recliner for more than ten minutes, when resuming standing, my heels, metatarsals, and feet in general hurt tremendously when resuming standing. I feel crippled for about one minute walking. Then the pain subsides for the most part. The back of my heels (both feet) also hurt as if the tendons are shrinking and need to be stretched. This happens especially first thing in the morning. Please can anyone tell me what is happening?
