Dear XXXXXXX Kettelhut, Thanks for using XXXXXXX
I can understand your concern.
1. For your problem, the most necessary treatment is prosthetic shoes. I advice you to get correct fitting prosthetic shoes (Rocker bottom shoes). This will help you to balance your body and also to distribute pressure evenly. You can contact any health institutions/ universities to get good quality and perfectly fitting shoes. Maintain good hygiene of your foot.
With these regular exercises, physiotherapy and pain killer like Ibuprofen and muscle relaxant like chlorzoxazone or tizanidine when required will help you for pain. You can take this drug after discussing with your doctor.
2. While sleeping also maintain good posture, take restas required by your body needs in between works.
3. Have good control of your sugar and lipid levels.Keep monitoring them. Have good nutritious diet with required calories. Adhere to the drugs prescribed by your doctors. Keep your lower limb warm using sox and full clothes.
Hope these my suggestions helps you. Have regular followup with your doctor and follow his advice. Feel free to ask if any related queries.
Wish you good health.
