HI, i was just wondering if anyone else has felt this..... I use to have a lot of pain in the tops of my feet and cramping in my legs and now i don't have very much pain at all unless i really over do it... But my thoughts were .... does it mean that the feelings in my legs and feet have diminished so much that i actually can't feel the pain anymore?????? OR is it that all my stretches and tai chi and swimming really is helpful??? ( i am not that good at doing all those things regularly ) so i am kind of stressing that it is a lack of feeling.
ANy thoughts????
