It is interesting that you said your neuropathy started in your toes. For years I had pain in my right big toe-it felt like someone had banged it with a hammer. But now after neuropathic numbness and tingling had taken over my feet and more recently on and off in my shins, the toe no longer has that bruised feeling. I am wondering if the toe was a precursor to my celiac-induced neuropathy. My walking is pretty good save for the shin shave biopsy that apparently has irritated some nerves with the dermatologist's needle. Balance is okay and I do exercises for that almost daily. I am also working on reducing sugar intake since it is often inflammatory. I am really hoping that if the shave biopsy heals which may take quite some time according to my neurologist, I can hopefully drive the neuropathic pains from shins and deal only with the tingling of feet.

@arcuri24 Hi, my toe hurts at times too, and my right foot and back of calf/thigh are numb. You mention "celia-induced", are you on a gluten-free diet? And if so, how long have you been on that diet and has it helped? Am thinking to try it but it will be hard.
