Can you give more detail?

Do your feet burn and hurt when you are not walking on them?

Do you have pain free periods at all.

Have you been to a good podiatrist to rule out mechanical issues in the feet?

This is a dermatome map:

It shows the areas where sensory distribution is on the body from the spine.

Many types of neuropathy give the sensation of walking on rocks or glass. My hypothyroid type was very much like that when it was bad.

If the compression is coming from your spine, there is not much that you can do for it. You can try Lidoderm patches, back there where the compression is located. It is best to know exactly the spot to place them, however. Putting them on the feet is not going to work, because the sensations come from the compression in the back (spine)
