Not sure if this is related but I have been suffering with neuropathy and no I do not have diabetes, not sure how this came about but it is a nerve problem and over the years I have tried numerous methods to help ease this as it gets worse if not treated, for myself personally I have hit upon a treatment that is working for me, spinal decompression, which is done by a chiropractor but my doctor is both that and a dr of neuropathy, and I have been under treatments for three months and have noticed a difference--that leathery feeling under the feet is the worse and I seem to be getting a handle on it now, plus you need a lot of B-vitamins but I am also undergoing electrical stimulation for the feet plus something called Nerve Plate which is a vibration for the nerves in your feet. Plus a daily drink of mixed essentials which helps stimulate your blood flow to the nerves At night I rub my feet with a nerve pain reliever which has frankincense and myrhh in it--the one with confrey worked the best but I think I was allergic to it, but it was called Nerve Salve. The one thing to keep in mind is that this takes time it will not happen overnight, but slowly you notice the difference, plus I used to get cramps with it and taking magnessium tablets helps or if a cramp happens rub magnessium salve on it.

Than you so much for your input maremouse! I thought I had developed diabetes, since I have been experiencing leatherlike feet pads and aching and stiff calves, but I don't have diabetes either. Statins (3 different ones) were responsible for most of it, but after I stopped all forms of statins, feet pads and calves got better, except it caused an Achilles heel injury 🙁 which they are apt to do. Doctors don't tell their patients about that!!! I do believe I have an incredible allergy to ALL forms of statins, including over the counter, which I have tried. Ater stopping all statins, the feet pad, ankle and calf discomforts mysteriously reappeared a few weeks later. Unfortunately, it is statins that have caused all of my symptoms, including the aching joint syndrome everyone here talks about. I am trying now to control my cholesterol with diet, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, all manner of nuts, green tea, etc. I am so glad you found treatment for your spinal decompression. That leathery feeling on the feet bottoms is really annoying!!! I too take Magnesium, which is such a nice supplement for so many things, including sleep, which I love. I would just like to find a doctor who can address the feet, ankle and calve scenario. It is SO weird and I don't see any responses that discuss a diagnosis or cure (if available) ! What the heck?!!!! Somebody, somewhere MUST know what this is about. I am trying compression socks. They seems to be helping some with ankle swelling from the statin caused Achilles heel injury. Are they a Cure? I don't think so, but relief in any case. I do not have heart problems; nor diabetes (as I mentioned above). Thanks again for your reply and very best of luck resolving your neuropathy. 🙂 d.
