Has anyone used a cream such as Nervive on their feet for pain? I bought it but I am a little afraid to use it. I am in early neuropathy right now so I do not suffer any of the advanced symptoms but I can tell you the pain in my feet is often pretty uncomfortable and has altered my life a great deal. I am 75 years old and trying to remain active but after my daily walk I am pretty much on the couch icing my feet. My feet cannot stand being constricted in supportive sneakers during walk.
Also has anyone tried Kuru footwear? I need a lot of cushioning. Thank you.

I don't think you have to worry about using that cream. Most of them are fairly useless when it comes to helping neuropathy, especially for burning feet. I've tried Mama Bear Oasis, 5% lidocaine and Diclofenac K(Voltaren). None of them even touched my burning feet. Finding a comfortable shoe is likely a better option. Orthofeet are nice to walk in. I wish you well.
I'm mighty grateful to whoever posted about placing foam earplugs on other side of the third toe to forestall pain. I've been doing that in the weeks since that post and it hasn't failed me yet. The only slight difficulty is finding them in the morning as they tend to dislodge.
I was told neuropathy by doctor.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the creams with some form of capsin do relieve pain especially if used for a while. They do not heal neuropathy.
Same age and situation. No luck with nervive lotion. Same experience with shoes too. I don't tie sneakers and get around a little. Have started ordering a full size longer and max width. Hoka offers the most cushy sole in some of their smmodels that I've found. Have to read in depth which particular models. It does help. Good luck.
I have tried Kuru foot wear and it was not good for me. Very stiff and narrow and oddly shaped. I have flat feet and need arch support and they would not accommodate my orthotics.
My left foot had surgery 18 years ago and I haven't been on a walk in fifteen years because of
residual foot pain. I've used CBD balm with some success. I have the same issue with sneakers.
The laces drive my foot crazy as do socks.
I have tried all the different creams expensive ones bought on Amazon and
now I am using an old faithfull, not expensive and very available..."Magdilife
I use it on my foot and rub it in. It also helps with the bunion I have on the
right side under my pinky, I'm 86 and have gone to neurologist, pain mgmt,
with no help, It's very soothing. Footwear has been the barefoot shoes
almost exclusively. More room in the toes, Have been purchasing from Temu,

I have worn Kuru. Comfortable shoe that provides extra support around the heel. I went other way with shoes. Have foot and ankle numbness. Used barefoot type shoes. Got some from Keen. Actually very comfortable for daily walking. Not sure they would be as good on a rough path. Lots of room for toes to lay flat in shoe.
