@solobeee I'm sorry to hear you are having a bad day. I have the numbness and sometimes the feet feel a little heavy. Once in awhile I feel the stiffness but not very often anymore. I find keeping my feet and legs moisturized helps a lot. I sleep with low top loose socks on and before I put the socks on I rub my feet with a moisturizer lotion. I also use it on my legs but not as much. I try to do at least 30 minutes of walking or riding my exercise bike daily which I think helps also.
There are a couple of good neuropathy websites where you can find a lot of different alternative treatments that have been found helpful.
- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/
- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/
