Like a new level of uncomfortableness.

Is this normal? Will the symptoms die down?
You will remain more sensitive to the cold, and must pay attention to your footwear. Do you have sensation in your feet? You mention that you have sensory motor neuropathy, as do I, but i cannot feel my feet at all or whether my shoes fit, are comfortable, etc. if this is a problem for you you may need to go up a size and wear orthopedic shoes with very soft socks.

Symptoms often settle down after a flare up. You will also get used to some of the sensations and it will seem more bearable.

Thanks for the information. I have an appointment to see a orthopedic next week who is checking my feet and will advise. The flare up you described has not settled yet.
