I used a soft face cloth to keep the shower from directly hitting my feet at first, otherwise I screamed from pain, then I gradually rolled up the cloth, but I also lessened the force of the shower.

I used cotton balls dipped in DMSO lotion and MSM lotion. I would slowly stroke my feet and ankles while I watched TV. I suffered through Graston sessions with a PT. They were agony and I don't recommend them, but I think they helped desensitize.

I found that my sheets were too rough, so I replaced them with a finer weave. I had to give up jeans, because the weight and the feel of the fabric was unbearable. I could not wear anything restrictive, even if it was not near my feet. I had to be completely unrestricted, because anything binding on my body seemed to make me more sensitive when I was working on my feet.
