Painful walking and tingling, burning feet

I use 5% lidocaine patches prescribed by my podiatrist to control the nerve pain in my feet at night. I place the patches on the tops of my feet where the epidermis is thinner.

My amazing podiatrist created a combination of elements that he then sent the precription to a compounding pharmacy in another state. Was a bit pricey but what great stuff! Just a metered pump (sometimes two) rubbed gently over the painful areas on the neuromas on my left foot and I get welcomed relief. However, for the polymalgic rheumatica pain I would have to bathe in it in order to possibly get relief because my entire body cascades into high level pain. Too often, I have to just endure, as I did last week when a nasty episode took over the torso and appendages. I considered sleeping on the sofa since it was tortuous navigating the stairs to the second floor bedroom (but the mattress is so much more comforting than the sectional, so I made my way step by step, concretizing the concept of installing a stair lift system).

It's great that the patches work for you. 😊
