My name is Margie I am 74 and I am quite active walking,working ,bowling,dancing ,doing qi Gong But I do have anxiety..I was diagnosed today by a poditrist with the beginning stages of neurapathy He called it low pain or low grade neurapathy . I dont know anything about neurapathy or why I got it as I don't have diabitis.
I just woke up one morning in August with a sandy feeling in both feet from toes to heal.
No pain just a sandy feeling. I was told to buy foot insoles to see if that helps and
if it gets worse to go back. Any suggestions on what I can do to improve
my situation would be greatly appreciated. I,m feeling so lost...Margie

Hi @margie1234, Welcome to Connect. It's great to see that you are searching for information to learn more about neuropathy and possible treatment options. I have no pain with my neuropathy either. I only have numbness. I think what you are saying is that it feels sort of like you are walking on sand which is sort of the way my feet feel sometimes. While we wait for other members to share suggestions with you, I can recommend that you learn as much as you can about neuropathy, it's possible causes and any changes you can make to your lifestyle that may help. It sounds like you are already active and healthy so you are ahead of the game from where I started my neuropathy journey. Here are a couple of sites where you can find more information about neuropathy.

-- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/
-- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview

Do you have any pain or numbness in the bottom of your feet?
