I know how this feels!

My left foot, the one with the huge scar on the instep, has
been bothering me now for a couple of years. The damaged
nerves have grown back, and don't work well. Sometimes the scar throbs, etc.

On the sural nerve side of my left leg, I have this new low tolerance for pain. I've had a couple of cat scratches there, by accident from our kitten, and they hurt far more than they should have!

I am now putting the magnesium lotion, there as well on the scar each night, and that seems to help. But you know Houdini leaped off the bed one night and my foot was out, and his back foot snagged my ankle. It felt like a KNIFE for 2 days and was just a little scratch. I've never had this before. That whole nerve seems over-reactive since the feeling finally came back on that instep! So far the lotion has been very helpful.
