My feet were exactly the same as yours for quite a few years except for the numbness......but my feet burned every night and I just waited for 5 pm every work day so I could take my shoes off while driving home. Once they calmed down that evening I was good to go until the next morning.

Then Bam ! Chemo, rise in blood sugar and biopsy confirmed severe small fiber neuropathy.

I sure wish I had known about neuropathy back then so maybe I could have helped avoid what I'm going through now
