I have peripheral neuropathy (amongst other maladies)

Mine began in one big toe...and has "worked" it's way up both legs to the lower part of the calves. I do not have good sensation in my feet at all... tingling numbness, with sharp pain at times, often actually. It doesn't seem right, nor fair..to have numbness AND pain!! stomp stomp stomp

I would guess you need to use heat to make sure the circulation is good still... and recent studies showed that exercising the arms vigorously even while sitting, increases blood flow to the legs and feet
