- For years I've been getting weird joint/tendon/bursa injuries that last for weeks or months and then go away without rhyme or reason.
- Definitely nerve damage - my big toe can't extend on it's own without vibrating, numbness and coldness in that foot. Nerve pain behind the fibula.
- Get shooting pain, burning.
- May be vascular damage.

- Noticeably darker color compared to my other foot in the morning.
