I had the feeling of bugs crawling on my feet and was diagnosed with

neuropathy shortly after that. Now I just get a pain like a bee sting or a

slight electrical shock. ( I call it a zap) Some are more painful than

others and some last a long time. Don't get these all the time but very

frequently. Doctor told me that when I get these " zaps " a nerve is dying.

Don't know where the ilio-tibial band is.
