I am 78 years old and started with non-diabetic neuropathy after having chemo for breast cancer in 2001. The first question my oncologist asked when I saw him after my treatments was "How are your feet"? I didn't have pain just numbness. Then in 2017 I had sepsis which in turn put me in Septic Shock from cellulitis in my lower leg and prosthetic knee. From that, I developed lymphedema which in turn started the painful burning neuropathy. The pain in my feet was just as if I was wearing very tight sandals. I could actually feel the straps on my feet. Sometimes I even checked to make sure I didn't still have shoes on. I now have Purple Toe and Feet because of poor circulation in my lower legs. The pain on the soles of my feet is like they are cracked. I checked with my doctor to see if I could try magnesium cream and waiting to hear back. I can't take a supplement due to CHF. I don't know what I would do without diclofenac and lidocaine patches.
