my advice is to stop freaking out. It's not helping. If your pain level is only a 1 and you still have feeling in your foot - you will most likely be just fine. Trust that your doctors will help and if they can't or you don't trust them - it's best to see a specialist in the vascular field as I have come to find out - neurologists suck at neuropathy. And whatever you do... Do not start anti-seizure meds or depression meds for neuropathy because in my experience - the side effects have actually made the condition worse.
