I don’t know if I have PN or something else. All I know is that the balls of my feet and toes feel sort of numb also that I have this blue discoloratio. It’s an awkward feeling like I have sand between my toes and they feel always cold. It takes a while to thaw them out as I called when I go to bed.
I’ve had my genes in my legs worked on hoping that would help.
It’s like they clogged up my bad veins in order to reroute blood circulating through the good ones.
I can’t say that I have pain or even tingles in my feet just kind of numb and blue looking.
Started to see a podiatrist but so far the prescription of Capsaicin .075% hasn’t done anything for me. Next appointment in June.
Anyway does anybody else similar problems?

It sounds like you have a vascular issue that may be PAD and affected by small fiber neuropathy (SFN). SFN needs to be diagnosed with a skin punch biopsy and SFN can affect heart/cardiovascular system, lungs and digestion. The blue coloring and coldness of your feet makes me think of Reynauds which is autoimmune. My understanding is SFN can be autoimmune, too. You may want your blood tested for cardio lipid autoantibodies which means you may be more prone to blood clots (Antiphospholipid Syndrome). I had these autoantibodies show up in my bloodwork by a rheumatologist in 2017 and 2019.
