I have found everyone's thoughts on pain "tips" here ery helpful. I would love to see this thread keep going. My foot, with the RSD and neuromas, is either hot or cold. At night, in bed, it often gets hot. I then put these cold packs that wrap around the foot around my upper foot or middle...or wherever the pain and heat is worse. Sleeping, for me, is tough. I always put a sock on first, though, otherwise, too cold for foot. When it gets cold, I found that diabetic socks work really well. I am not diabetic but those things are WARM. Thanks for everybody's help here........it is great.
