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

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.

Thanks Gerry I have been using the lotion for the last couple days at night before bed. I also have been using the lidoderm patches on my arms for over a week now. I look funny with the patches all over my arms. You can only use 3 patches at a time or I would use more.
I feel like I'm trying everything I can and getting no long lasting release. Nothing is seeming to quiet the pain for long. Thanks for the ideas !
