Hi Rick. I am a Canadian and so I would guess you were serving your country when this happened and you were in the Viet Nam war. You are an American hero for sure. That war should have never happened and I am so sorry you are suffering so much pain from it. Neuropathy is definitely not for the weak and it sounds like you are gritting your way through this. I wish I could help you with the pain you are feeling. I heard of a product called Mineral Ice which you just rub on and it has a soothing relief for a while at least. I have not tried this but I am going to order some today on Amazon. You shouldn’t be allergic to this I would hope. I wish you all the best and I hope I have helped you even just a little bit. Hugs

I have tried a roll on of Lidocaine 4% ...no menthol . I put it on my feet in the morning and at night.
It seems like my neuropathy has benefitted from this med.
My Neurologist recommended it..I think it works well. Also, you can get it as a cream also. It's OTC and not to expensive.
Hope this helps, Pat

Hi back to you Tessie, Thank you for the heads-up for the 'Mineral Ice'. Since I'm on the Board Of Spenders at Amazon... I will certainly put them on my radar for my nightly business transaction with them (I give them $$ and they take it!) I was just reading another comment, where they are using 4% Lidocaine, with some positive results! I've used the Rx @ 5% and does help on certain areas' in addition to the ointment I use the 5% patch. My primary care physician suggestion that I cut two strips from the patch and he pointed out where to place them so as to cover the descending nerve on the anterior side of your ankle, making a loop across the upper area of the foot. This is because the nerve that is the problem child runs in that direction-I am pulling this treatment from 6-7 years-it would be better if you talk to a Podiatrist(Foot MD) or whomever you rely on. Caveat, I'm not a Dr. nor do I want to be! BTW, the patch did not work on me!
Ok! I have emptied my tank so it is time to p/u my stix's and finish constructing this new router. if I can just figure out how to open the box!!
Talk to you later,
Rick
