Hi John/all,

The "block of ice"/stone feeling in my feet has recently gotten worse. Perhaps it's the colder weather. It makes my balance worse and more difficult to walk. Do you know anything that I'm eating that may make it worse like it is now, and anything that can somewhat remedy, take the edge off in terms of food or supplement? The pins and needles/burning is better for some reason, but now it's the extreme hardness. It's always something with this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Caleb

Hi Caleb @highdesertdweller, I do think diet can help but may be only part of the answer. The cold weather definitely makes it harder for me to get around. I like my not so cushy shoes that have barefoot type zero drop soles for balance but in the winter my feet get colder so I will venture out in different normal type shoes with more of a cushion. Then I just have to be more careful with my balance. As far as food or supplements, you might find the following discussion helpful for suggestions:
