Hi donfeld, I am so glad you found something that works for you!!! My heart goes out for the pain and suffering you've endured. I sure hope you heal completely. Does this cream work for skin burning? My neuropathy makes my skin feel like it's missing the top layer; sting and burn besides the pins and needles which aren't as bad as the prior described. I bought some a different cream someone else is having success with in the neuropathy group but it really didn't work for me so I'm using a 4% lidocaine liquid solution that I apply w/ a Q-Tip. It's weird how it works. Prayers and wishes for ZERO pain and peace for your soul!!! Warmest regards, Sunnyflower
