Over the summer when my toenails started to lift I stopped wearing conventional shoes and only wore open-toed slip on shoes and flip flops (the flip flops were my "dress" shoes
). Two weeks ago I returned to work and had to start wearing conventional shoes again. I was only working 4 hours a day but by the end of the day I had significant pain in my legs and feet. I would have indentations in my feet from where the shoes had been because my feet had swollen so much during the day (this had happened over the summer and also contributed to me not wearing conventional shoes). The pain would continue long after I took the shoes off to the point it was waking me up at night. I went to the podiatrist this past Monday and I used the fact that he cut my toenails all the way back as an excuse to wear my flip flops to work.
My question is, has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there any relief or does it go hand-in-hand with the neuropathy and won't get better unless the neuropathy does?
