What Does Spongy Feeling In The Feet Indicate?

i ve been taking phenytoin for several years, have added zonogran temporarily to begin a switch and take a break from phenytoin if possible . My feet feel like sponges - is that ok? when I walk, they feel like sponges. The skin doesn t have sensitive feeling, just pressure, but inside it just feels like sponges. That s the closest comparison I can come up with.
