The only thing I can add is that when I'm active (a long session of hiking, jogging, or workout) and/or when I massage my feet it appears that the numbness is lessened. Maybe the increased blood flow has something to do with it -- flushing out natural metabolic wastes, increasing oxygenation of tissue? Just rambling thoughts.
And of course it may be a placebo effect -- I very much want to be able to lessen the symptoms by exercise and massage, so I "convince" myself that they help. If you know what I mean.
But my neuropathy isn't your neuropathy!  Different onset, different etiology.

I agree. Activity especially exercise reduces the numbness for me too. Also when i take my jeans out of the dryer and put them on they are tighter than normal and this males numbness worse. After an hour of wear the jeans loosen up and numbness is better. Go figure??
