Good evening @joycemarie, I am sorry for any misunderstanding. I was referring to Voltaren which is a medication I was given in the 70's before my first spine surgery. At that time It was not an OTC but an Rx with some limits. Later I was able to get it in Mexico without an Rx. I think you may have replaced the en with an on. At least when I looked up Voltaron it asked if I meant Voltaren? I now think we are referring to the same medication and it worked well for me. I just had to be cautious according to my clinician at the time.
It is probably a great idea to mix it with CBD oil. I have small fiber neuropathy and I would like to try it. How will I follow your recipe?
One very important thing to remember in using Volteran Gel it is an NSAID like other anti-inflammatory meds and you can overdose on this more easily. I suggest following the recommended treatment amount on the box by using the plastic measure provided in the box to dose yourself. This med can be Liver toxic if too much and especially if used more often than indicated.

Good evening @faust73. Yes, you can use a Medical Cannabis balm/topical or even a tincture on the bottoms of your feet. Papa and Barkley have two options for a topical.....a 1:3 CBD/THC for acute pain and a 3:1 CBD/THC for chronic pain/discomfort. How long have you been dealing with neuropathy? Have you had a skin test for diagnosis?
I've had close to a year at first I didn't think anything with the bottom of my feet and toes feeling weird. I went to my neurologist and he said I didn't have it then it said maybe slightly. To make a long story short went to a neurologist that was recommended. He did an EMG and I have a mild form of neuropathy in my feet. I don't feel it when I'm wearing shoes but when I take my shoes off then I feel the numbness on the bottom of my foot and toes...I don't know how I got it I eat healthy my weight is a bit under what it should be and most importantly I work out every day half hour on my eliliptical, bike or treadmill for a half hour and a half hour with working my body with a total gym.

Hi again @faust73, Somewhere in these posts you may read the percentages that apply to these neuropathy sources. The top two are diabetes and chemotherapy. The next one is traumatic injuries and then idiopathic. If I am not spot on then I am close. One of those will have more to do with the neuropathy in your feet than anything like lack of exercise. The problem with the feet is that without applying MFR (myofascial release therapy) or other options for keeping the feet from becoming numb, you may reach a point where driving is contraindicated. I have two MFR sessions a week with special attention on the feet. That works for me. As I have mentioned before, you can have a skin biopsy to determine the degree to which you do not have enough nerve cells to be able to feel the brake and gas pedal. My skin test biopsy came back at .09 which indicates that I didn't have much going on there......at least not enough to make me feel safe driving. Mine was labeled severe. Have you had a skin biopsy punch test? Only takes a minute and is not painful.
It is great to see that you are a healthy eater and a loyal exerciser.

Here is a lot of information from a lot of research collected by NORML. It shows that cannabis has a positive effect. Read it for coverage. Here is the best collection. https://norml.org/marijuana/library/recent-medical-marijuana-research/chronic-pain/
