nerophy(?) numbing of my hands and feet?

Neuropathy is nerve-related so, anywhere you have nerves can be affected. It usually starts at the nerve endings and that's why our extremities (hands, feet, etc.) are affected first. Toes are commonly affected on the foot but, I don't see why it couldn't be in the heel.

The only thing I'm thinking with the heel is that it may be a bruise or bone splint. I bruised my heel once so bad it took 2 years before I got feeling back. My Mom had bone splints and that causes numbing but is also pressure sensitive.
