Accelerated PN , possibly from PT?

Hi @cherbear2cubs
I do not think it is the PT but the movement and the shoes, because of their size. If you foot has to much room, your toes could be pushed into the end, squished, and now the nerves are awake and unhappy. I have done this from not tying my shoes tight enough, my toes hurt, by nerves are disgruntled, and then I need to call them down. I do this with a foot myofascial massage trying to make the nerves happier, by allowing them to move. Not a cure, a treatment, I do repeat the error of my ways, with causing my neuropathy to flair. So I do the massage often.

The other day I aggravated my neuropathy to a new level, I called my PT, an amazing, brilliant PT, and asked if she had any ideas as my usual efforts were not working. She suggested a "shock wave" treatment. Wow, did it work! I just thought you should all know there are options. This did not cure my neuropathy, the pain level just went from a seven to one, it also helped my feet in general feel so much better. I will have the treatment again, and again... I will still do everything else to keep the neuropathy in check, I am so appreciative to have this treatment work for me.
