Sleep is important for me. When I have anight with only 1.5 or 2 hours of sleep, it will be a difficult day. But it is very hard to shut my brain down. I try to let my body rest, but my brain is just on high speed. I'm about ready to change meds for sleeping again.

When I was first injured, I was sent to a PT who was wonderful and all he did 3 times a week was put on a rubber glove with a connection to the tens machine and then I held another connector in my hand and he gently, and I emphasize gently, massaged my leg for 15-20 minutes. That really helped with my sensitivity, but I have to keep it up. I try to massage it as best I can 3 times a week with a healing skin lotion but the bottoms of my feet are the worst. I use a gel called Voltaren and get some relieve.
