Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the Lord, but only from the physicians. They vibrate and burn. They pulsate with pain. They feel like small needles pricking your feet. It’s painful to walk. It’s painful to stand and it’s even painful to sit with your feet down.
In other cases, your feet are numb but somehow still hurt. It’s hard to distract yourself. You constantly change position. I’ve been known to place a pillow under my feet to cushion them. Peripheral neuropathy is its name - one of the diseases that affect your feet. And if you have it, you know that something isn’t right with your body. For, even if it’s only your feet, it hurts all over.
