Also as far as nerve damage or Peripheral Neuropathy goes, there are over 100
causes of PN. In your case trauma appears to be likely.

Sure, I haven't had time to read about PN.

To heal from damage to nerves you need certain nutrients. Vit D B12 folate B6
Omega-3 fatty acids (flax oil and fish oil). magnesium
If your diet is lacking these nutrients healing will be poor, or slow. The feet
are well known to be slow in healing anyway since circulation to them is poor.

Hmm, For my own edification I made sure I get some foods from each of the groups
you listed. I think i'm doing ok.
Vit D - My internal doctor just informed me i'm a little low in this, despite my
glass of milk everyday for the last month. Maybe i need more sunlight?
B12 - I eat lots of salmon, red meat, milk
Omega-3 I love salmon, i eat it at least twice a week.
folate - I eat lots of fruits and veggies
B6 - Beef, avocado's, spinach, bananas, fish, pistachios
Though, when i was injured i was eating a lot less fish, milk, and a lot more
Mediterranean food.

Tight shoes, tight lacing habits, or wearing boots, that constrain the feet
alot, are not good for circulation that the feet need.

I have been wearing sandals and just bought a pair of super wide toe box shoes
which i have great hopes for. I live in north so winter is coming.

RSD is only one outcome from a foot injury. And this is statistically not
nearly as common as Peripheral Neuropathy.

Yea, I keep telling myself how unlikely this all is!
