A member asked:

I have small fibre neuropathy. neuro says caused by tight shoes. changed footwear, what else can i do to heal this. will it ever heal , depressed.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I doubt the shoes: You would need a more thorough evaluation to clarify the diagnosis. I don't think shoes are the reason. You need to see your physician and maybe and maybe get a second opinion
