So, what I've learned so far after a decade of progressive nuerapathy in my feet is this. The more load I put on my feet the worse it gets during the day. I do 900 at 8 am again at noon and at 4 then 600 at 8 pm when not on my feet so much. If it gets on fire I will rub lidocaine 4 milligram ointment on my feet and that puts out the fire in minutes but only lasts an hour or so. I've tried many different therapies and doctors. Different things seem to work for different bodies and sometimes we develop tolerances for a particular drug and must try something else. Research is a good thing but it's progressive and with over 100 different kinds of nuerapathies and little concensus on treatment we can only hope for better answers. John

Happy to hear lidocaine helps you with the burning. I have the 4% Aspercreme and it doesn’t help. I’ve tried a ton of topicals and none of them help. I’d love some relief from the burning and pain.
