Mark,

I have RSD and TOS and have the burning/painful feet as well.. One thing I have found useful is a pain cream called Sombra I bought to use for my arms. I massage it into the soles of my feet and it feels slightly warm as it goes on, then turns pleasantly cool. It takes the pain down a level and lasts for quite a while.

I bought mine from a PT, but it is probably available from med supply stores as well. You can also find it on-line. I believe it runs around $12-14 or so for 8 oz, but that will last you a VERY long time, it is very dense and you need just a very small amount each time. It says it is for muscular and arthritic pain, but I and others have found it helpful for at least reducing the nerve pain a notch. Active ingredients are menthol and camphor, it also includes aloe vera, capsaicin, grapefruit seed, orange peel, yucca and green tea extracts, rose water and witch hazel.

Manufactured by Sombra Inc in USA wwwsombrausa.com

hope this helps!
