@donfeld Hi Don. I'm sorry to hear of your problematic and painful feet. Thanks @johnbishop for including me in the conversation. I feel that I'm separated from the traditional foot neuropathy group as my neuropathy is wide spread without central location at this point. Last year I had ample trouble with my feet but, they've settled, except for discomfort while wearing snug footwear or becoming frozen and turning purple. Also, occasional jolting toe joint pain.

During my time last year with my feet...Epsom cool water soaks, slides or fleece lined slippers (1 size larger)
and elevation. When my feet were swelling, turning bright red and felt on fire internally as well as sunburned externally...cool air, fans and nothing touching them.

I took and still take hydrocodone (Norco) for pain and use medical marijuana as back up when hydro doesn't cut it. I agree with @jimhd that MM is too expensive! I could not afford the tiny tubs of topicals nor, was it going to cover my whole body of painful sites. The oil under tongue has been helpful and at times I use it frequently but otherwise sparingly because hydro is much cheaper for my budget.

Ironically, I just got of the phone with my Dad who has diabetic foot neuropathy. His Dr recently gave him muscle relaxers for his painful feet. He says they help him fall asleep and quiet the pain. His feelings are that his skin is being ripped apart and as though sandpaper is being rubbed across his feet. They get red, shiney and swollen. My Dad does not control his eating habits well and pays the price as a result.

I wonder if you take helpful supplements for neuropathy, eat a proper diet or perhaps utilize myofacial release therapy?

This is tough stuff, this neuropathy. I wish you well and to find better comfort. Best of luck sir.
