I am wondering if anyone else is dealing with this condition and what conservative strategies you've tried?
I use Salonpas for my arthritis in my feet.

either the Original Patches (you can cut them to fit your toes),
or the new Salonpas Deep Relieving Gel...you rub this into the tops of your feet and the medications penetrate like a patch.
This new gel is very strong and very effective. I got mine at WalMart...at a nice affordable price.
