Hi!
I've experienced foot numbness. One suggestion I tried that seems
to increase blood circulation is to rub your feet with BenGay. Before
going to bed, I put it on thick and cover it with sweat sox. It reduces
my numbness for several days. A CAUTION comes to mind. Be VERY CAREFUL
when stepping into a wet tub or shower or wet tile floor. The ointment
makes your feet slippery. I find a traction mat in the tub quite helpful.
Regards, Geo.

Hi,
I also have a stiffness and lack of feeling in the tips of my toes on both
feet. I have found that soaking them in warm water and then massaging them
with lotion helps.
Right now I am working on eliminating my shuffle as I may have a ruptured
Achilles tendon. I am using a wheel chair as a walker is difficult for me.
My lab dog is pulling the chair when my husband and I go for walks. I also
have wild dreams and talk I;n my sleep and she worries and wakes me up.
Take care
