🔴 Burning or Freezing Extremities: A distinct, agonizing sensation where your feet feel like they are on fire or completely frozen, usually worsening at night and stealing your sleep.

🔴 The Morning “Broken Glass” Step: Intense, throbbing heel or arch pain the absolute moment your feet touch the floor in the morning, making those first few steps pure agony.

🔴 Numbness and Loss of Balance: A frightening “dead” or cushioned feeling under your feet—like you are constantly walking on thick foam or cardboard—causing you to lose stability while walking.

🔴 Deep, Throbbing Aches that Never Stop: A persistent, heavy ache deep within your joints, heels, or tendons that refuses to go away, no matter how much you rest, stretch, or massage it.
