You are probably seeing tendons twitching, or muscles rippling.

I'd do the magnesium lotion on the tops of your feet each night.
Use a quarter's diameter divided in half for each foot, rub it in up to your ankles (including them if it goes that far). This will open up your circulation and help with the muscle twitching.

Is there any difference between Magnesium Sulfate Cream and the Magnesium Lotion. If so, which do you consider best to use.

I had sent a post to you a couple of weeks ago mentioning I had used the Magnesium Sulfate Cream on my ankles because of burning; especially toward evening. The top of my feet also have some burning.

I mentioned it appeared to have the Sorbital effect on me. You had written that the cream should not cause this.

I have been hesitant to try it again and was wondering if there was much difference between lotion and cream. Every now and then I do rub very lightly some rubbing alcohol which seems to be somewhat helpful.

Since I have edema and Stasis Dermatatis the circulation is really important. I have the pooling of blood; especially at the ankles. The circulation you mention sparks my interest since I think that would be very beneficial as well.
