i have neuropathy also and it's hard for my younger siblings to get that when you barely touch one of my feet it hurts quite out of proportion to the action. I feel for ya :)
I bump my knee or shin and it feels like I'm going to pass out.
I love these guys for their diabetes info.
Check out their chat on feet.
