Dear sir i can understand your concern.
this condition of dry gangrene is due to the lack of blood supply for foot.
usually this dry gangrene is irreversible.
we need to asses the blood supply of feet and take necessary measures like angio or bypass to treat the block.
This kind of problem is called peripheral vascular disease and will have very agonising pain.
i suggest to you to meet a surgeon and consider removing the gangrene part, which can reduce the pain.
Hope I was able to help you.
If you have any further question fell free to write me back.I will be happy to help.
Take care.
Best Regards.
