Podiatrist procedure made it worse?

Sorry for your pain. I think it is common for pain to go up right after a treatment or a routine maintenance of the foot. For example, when my podiatrist cuts my toenails, it is painful and the next few day the nerves seem inflamed too. This also happens when I have acupuncture. There is no gentle way to handle a foot with neuropathy. Hope this helps and one day they cure our pains.

Thanks for your experience, Julkun. I’ve never had anything done to them before… I don’t even like to touch them myself.

One day seems like a long way away, but I always hope for it.

I actually don’t come to the available forums very often, it just seems so helpless to think of that ‘one day’, but it is so helpful to know there are others who feel this, who understand. As empathetic as my wife and kids are, I know they can’t understand… and I hate complaining because there’s nothing they can do about it.

So, it often feels like I’m alone in a bubble of pain and despair, but I am so thankful for this thoughtful and understanding forum.
