Question

Going thru quick alcohol withdrawal, can result in an overactive nervous system. Alcohol is a depressant. People who detox too quickly can have seizures! It takes time for the nervous system to settle down, during detox. Alcohol is anesthetic to pain. So increased pain anywhere is possible.

I think you should consult a good addiction doctor to find out if it is possible your foot issues are due to that.

But it is also possible your foot pain is due to something else entirely and the alcohol is just masking the pain. Also alcohol will raise triglycerides and this may make the blood thicker and impair circulation to the feet.

We don't get very many people here with alcohol PN. One would think there would be more wouldn't one?
