Hi Pam
I'm Rachel
I have done research on this cream recently. Do use it exclusively for your feet and burning? Is your burning an internal burning pain or a burning heat? Is your pain from diabetic neuropathy, if you dont mind me asking? I get hot spots (hot to the touch) on my feet at night and sharp shooting pains but my calves are the biggest problem. They burn, pain, cramp, ache profusely and are debilitating. They put me down and take away walking. I'm wondering if this cream may work?

Hi Rachel...I have SFN which was diagnosed with a biopsy of my epidermis. My toes burn and the sides of my feet where the sole meets the top of the food. It is a sensitivity to heat...i.e. not from within. So for the cause is idiopathic. l As long as I am in A/C or have a fan blowing over the feet they do not burn. I have some numbness in my hands and lower legs. I am not taking any pain meds, only topicals like Sarna lotion that is for itching and sunburn. I have a bit of cramping in my arches and calves but so far not debilitating. I swim and hike my nearby mountains everyday still. I was only diagnosed two weeks ago after months of misdiagnoses my several doctors. I do have a high tolerance for pain as I am on a mission to do as much good in the world as I can...I may be time limited now and I have to keep going somehow...I also worked 29 years as an engineer solving some "wicked" problems so this problem qualifies as "wicked" and I intend to get to the bottom of it. I am also writing a book and need to finish it...lots of challenges ahead...This forum has been the invaluable to me. Pam
