Bob:

I can sympathise with you. But I'm on the other end. Alan has had his PN for over 15 years and of course I never felt his pain. I would see it but I never felt it UNTIL I got diabetic neuropathy and the podiatrist used a vibrating tool on my toes and that night I went out of my mind with the buzzing, the zapping and the burning. All Alan quietly said "welcome to my world". I looked at him and said "oh my god".

So a person really has to walk in another person's shoes to fully understand this.

But I do have a suggestion for you because you drop things on your feet. Do you have a shoe with a steel toe? Like a workman's shoe thing. Timberland makes them. Perhaps you can wear them around the house. Or even a pair of those ugly croc shoes (with the big toe box). If you drop a knife or something, at least your feet won't get cut.

Now don't start dropping bowling balls....lol.

I met a woman at the neuropathy association support meeting and she wears these diabetic shoes with steel reinforced toes.

Hey, it's a suggestion.
