Find a pulse at your ankle tendons. If you do not have a pulse, get yourself to a ER immediately.
You are experiencing frostbite if not outright freezing solid of those feet which will require amputation.
I know you said no medical advice, but I would like to think you want to keep your limbs and attachments a while longer. -

If your seat can tilt level or even slightly forward, try that. Anything to reduce pressure under your legs. That alone may solve your problem.x1Heavy Thanks this.

I almost gave up trucking a few years ago, due to severe pain in my legs and hip joints. In part this was due to a seat specced by Swift, rock hard, and in part because I hadn't yet tilted my seat forward.
I went through $200 of various seat cushions before finding the Magic Gel cushions. They are about eighty bucks. I removed the cushion from the cover to modify it to give more leg circulation.TigerShark and x1Heavy Thank this.
