Brian - I did try dispirin once, but dissolved it and tried it as a spray. Didn't work that way . . . but using it as a paste would seem like it has a better chance of working. I will definitely check it out. Thanks very much.

As to ice on the skin . . . one reason to be very, very careful, if not avoid, is that using it when you have an open wound is not good, especially with the PN population. I know I have missed very slight cuts on my feet and find it is best just to avoid.
