I hope you find what works and you get pain relief

Hi Daniella, I agree I would never chance going in far I guess i should have worded it as feet in the Ocean. When we use to take our kids to the Ocean I would just sit my chair in the edge of the water or we would walk along the water with them. Recently we went to a beach and I had such a hard time walking on the soft sand but when I got near the Ocean it was easier(wearing my crocs-the hard sand was too painful) but i couldnt bring myself to touch my feet in the water because i know what cool/cold water does to me. I only lasted on the beach about an hour but it was worth it. I was hoping someone would tell me overtime it may change-that someday i may walk along the Ocean's edge. Who knows- hot water therapy has helped with skin sensativity maybe I can only hope that someday i'll be able to sit with my feet in the Ocean. momof4
