Let me know if the cream works for you. Just the aspercreme type cream helps,, but does not totally get rid of the pain. I guess mine would be considered neuropathy... burning, stinging.. sometimes what I call biting; a very sharp pain. It is weird to have pain and numbness all in the same area. I have to wear shoes or at least socks to help protect my feet. My right foot is the foot with the neuroma. My left foot I broke my little toe right at the joint a couple of years ago.. so arthritis there. I tripped and fell last September and I broke the toe again... now pain down the side of my foot. I have not made it back to the podiatrist to see what other damage I did.

My 91 year old mom lives with us.. It is very hard to take care of her. We tried a nursing home a couple of months ago and that just did not work for any of us. They did not take care of her well at all.. just basically sat her in her wheelchair and ignored her as much as possible... even when we were with her.. my husband and I had to do the taking care of her there. So rather do that at home. She is having a lot of burning pain in both her feet at night. The cream helps some, but she needs something better. Very difficult to get her in and out of our car. .. harder each time. The transport services are very expensive. I think I am going to have to make her a doctor appointment.. her pain in general is getting worse. She cannot take Lyrica nor Neurotin. She is on Butran pain patches. She has Type 2 Mobitz... slow heart rate... and other health conditions. I think some type of cream is going to have to be the answer. .. I just do not know which one.

@fourof5zs Good morning. You are inspiring in your efforts to give your Mom the very best care that you can. I just have a couple of suggestions. First, have you asked your mom's medical provider for recommendations. Is it possible for her to go to a pain clinic? And if I may, would you please tell me where you live. There may be other choices depending on your location. I am here for you. Find joy today. Chris

@fourof5zs Welcome to connect we cant give medical advice but try to help with what helps us. I have used Topricin cream it is for fibromyalgia and neuropathy. Its OTC cream I love it and find relief from it. I buy it a CVS or you can go online . Hope you all have a better day

@fourof5zs I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I could cry. I do not like to hear she is suffering so. I USED the TOPTICIN cream last night and this morning. To me it has helped immensely. Truly took the pail away. I just wok from a 2 hour, yes 2 hour pain free nap. Now I am not going to say "miracle" but it has helped so much. Of course I take a percocet but that is what I have been taking without this relief. It is sure worth a try. I ordered my from Amazon. I did not know they sold it in stores. My sister buys hers from their site and says she can good deals. I do feel relief. I think part is I am messaging it into my keg and foot and under my toes and foot and the message helps too. Prayers for you and your Mom.
