accupuncture helped with the pain but not the numbness (I did it for about 6 months). I no longer have pain. Barefoot shoes (also called minimalist or zero drop) have helped with the numbness, sensitivity and balance. Magnesium cream mixed with a little castor oil also helped a bit. I do still have some numbness and occasional burning.

Responding to your comment on barefoot shoes. I currently have problems finding any shoes that are comfortable. I have a pair of Altra's that are okay comfortable but found the zero drop Altra's uncomfortable. I have been intrigued by the barefoot shoes but hesitate to buy shoes without a recommendation from someone with experience. Which barefoot shoes would you recommend? How do they feel on the bottom of your feet? Most shoes are so uncomfortable for the bottoms of my feet which seem to be very sensitive to the breakdown of the soft bottom shoes. I would really love to find some sandals for the summer that I could wear and have been looking at Hoka brand - I know people who wear Hoka shoes and love them. Thanks
