Thanks Koala for the great suggestions!  |
I think you have discovered your problem.
I did not read thru your thread but wondered if you have those egg crate heel protectors. they can help alittle with pressure relief.
YOu want to have lotion applied and massage to increase blood flow to them.
when you are in bed at night can you put your feet up on pillows, well actually not your feet you want to "float" your heels so they don't touch the bed. if you can put a pillow under your calves if that makes sense.
I am sorry you are having foot problems.
