Yeah, numbness would be better, though does have its own set of irritations. My mom has foot/nerve problems (more than 20 years of walking a postal route) and has had surgery, injections, acupunture...). The numbness has led to weakness in her foot/leg, although there are other complications (knee surgery due to a dog that visciously attacked her when she worked) and her feet often feel cold...

Sending good health vibes to your poor feet! Maybe the Health Fairy will follow the vibes! :)
