I've had this slowly progressing case of neuropathy in the ball /toes of both my feet. Not diabetes induced... Podiatrists doesn't even care to guess why but likely 35y of bouncing on them playing tennis... major bout of plantar fascia 10y ago seems to have kicked it off.

Lucky for me, not so much tingling and no real pain, just the feel there's several pebbles in your shoe when walking (esp barefoot) since the nerves are not returning much feedback from the foot hitting the floor. Oddly, the area still tickles, still responds to commands, just no "feedback" barefoot when walking, creating that really annoying feel there's something in my shoe... Even did an MRI several y ago and while there' s a possible small pinch L4/L5 it's no more than anybody's classic L4/L5 at that age...

Apparently it's pretty common in the 50+ crowd nowadays, though often due to diabetes (not the case here, lucky me as I consume too much sugar anyway). I can live with it but I'd like to make sure it stops getting worse. Anyone found stuff to help reverse or at least improve this a little ? So far all I got is wider toes box shoes, not walking barefoot, occasional foot massages (which hurt so there's some nerves left ;-)
