Topical Magnesium Lotion for Feet

My neurologist is pretty sure I have SFN. For about a year I have had tingling in my hands and feet. My first neurologist thought it wasn’t small fiber neuropathy because it started in my hands at the same time. Now along with the tingling, I have what I can only describe as little shooting pins in my legs from my knees down. I feel all this more when I’m not moving. After reading this, I purchased and tried both the magnesium lotion and the frankincense and myrrh balm. Neither one did anything for the tingling. Do you have to use it repeatedly to see results or should I have noticed a difference right away? Are there any other products anyone has tried or uses for the tingling? I’m trying to find something that would help the tingling. Any suggestions appreciated!

@joypalmer1, Keeping the skin hydrated may just be part of the equation but I'm no expert. I have numbness in the legs with my neuropathy and also some tingling but not bad which may be due to the fact that my legs are squeezed by compression socks all day long. I have used magnesium lotion on my legs along with other moisturizers and it does make the legs feel better but I think it's just part of solution since it keeps the skin from drying out and the nerves are near the skin.
