Did anyone else have extreme pain & a meningitis rash that turned into large coal black skin indentations that required debridement?

With the exception of occasional sharp pains up my legs, my legs are pain free. But after 35 years post MM, my "toes" still hurt. I'm female and still can't stand the pain of wearing even very low high heels as they throw my weight to my toe area. My "toe area" third of my feet are still "on fire"!

Anyone else have this aftereffect? I take zero medication for the pain. Anyone take something that brings some pain relief?
