I can sympathize. My sugars were never that high (which is one reason the dr's were not sure that the sugars were the reason/whole reason for the foot problem). They took me off tramadol, and I wish the lyrica/other drugs worked better, but the neuropathy I have has moved off the bottom of my feet... it's about up to my ankles now, or can be as it is random, but there is always some part of my feet bothering me, it just isn't always the exact same spot.
But I agree about the walking on them making it worse. There isn't much you can do to make is better either. nothing seems to work. The only things I found that even remotely work are a) sitting on them to stop the feeling in them and they go to sleep basically or b) rubbing them or getting someone else to rub them. Apparently pain receptors are overridden by touch receptors. (Who knew!) I hope your feet feel better. (mine too.)
