I asked the same question, why are my feet so numb,yet the nerve pain is unbearable.
I recently broke my left ankle, the bone came thru and yet I felt no pain.
I even felt no post operative pain either.
They all looked at me as if I was crazy.
Someone said my neuropathy was a blessing in desguise in that respect.
I take Tramadol 50 mg at bedtime, along with Tylenol.
That helps me sleep or else I’d be going crazy with my nerve pain.
