Have you tried heat therapy at all? A hot bath, hot water bottle, etc... That sometimes can help...

Lidoderm patches (prescription) often do help; especially with spine pain. Of course, other areas as well.

Mrs. D has recommended Morton Epsom Lotion (Magenisum Sulfate) to rub a quarter size amount lightly on my burning feet and ankles. It really has helped calm down the pain. This too also helps in other areas as well. Purchased the lotion at Walgreens for $8.95.
