I almost never gt the pins and needles or flash of electricity pains any more. I still get the feeling I have sand between my toes when nothing's there. The general tenderness is still there but less. There also seems to be a long term effect--I've been using this about 3 years. Used to be sometimes my whole foot and occasionally up my leg were involved. Now it seems limited to just my toes and the pad just behind them are involved. Is that clear enough to understand?
