Some of this group's members have experienced some relief from pain by using Phenytoin Cream. I am one of those members and want everyone to be aware of the benefits. I have been using the cream (5% Phenytoin cream) 3 times a day for 3 days now. I actually cried tears of joy when I woke up this morning and was lying in bed with no pain in my feet. This has not happened in about 6 years! A compounding pharmacy has to make the prescription cream. I know Pam is using the 10% Phenytoin cream and said it has helped with her burning feet. My neurologist called in my script for 5%. There is a study you can read, John Bishop posted a link to it a few days ago. I sincerely hope all of you find some relief too!

I had some pain on day 3, but I think it was less than before using the cream.

Hi, @kansasgal - just wanted you to know I moved your post here to this discussion where you were previously discussing pain relief strategies for small fiber neuropathy so that others interested in this topic could read your update and interact with you about it.

Did you notice any side effects at all from the cream, kansasgal?
