I am not diabetic either. Nor do I have PAD. I've been diagnosed with polyneuropathy. No known cause, but there it is.
It mainly affects me below the knee and causes numbness, occasional toe/foot area electrical zings and some balance and walking issues.
Nothing the docs can do, so I'm addressing it with exercise, stretching, massage, topicals and supplements.
Everybody hange in there and happy holidays!

@newtoni48 I have the same situation, polyneuropathy, idiopathic. Not given much hope by doctors. Will try acupuncture. Will report back.

@newtoni48 I too am effected by those electric shocks that seems like someone else has a controller and zaps me whenever they want. Only thing I am not seeing here in any of the comments is how my pain will move round on my ankle from side of it to while walking I will get a super sharp sudden pain that jerk's me ankle and make it feel like it'll break. When I don't wear the medical boot every time I stop walking it feels like I'm just learning how to walk plus the fact that without the boot on I have no strength in my foot and even though I powerlift since COVID-19 is have lost over 3 inches on my arms and 4 inches on my chest and I have lost so much strength but it is nothing like that in my foot. Sadly I put my life on the line every night protecting those who can't protect themselves and in my line of work you just never know what is going to happen and I am the only doorman in the place working majority of the time with only two females. So I need my ankles and legs in order to do my job and at 45yrs old I'm not ready to give up what I love to do in life and that again is protecting those that cannot protect themselves from idiot's or anything else. So I am trying to figure this thing out before it gets any worse than it is already.
