The saran wrap caused a lot of sweating and I no longer use it. However, I continue with this experiment, using exclusively TPR 20 applied to my feet and lumbar area twice during day time and once more at night for the lower back...
During the night, I coat my feet with a good quality multivitamins moisturizing cream with Aloe to keep the skin in good shape, which precludes using TPR 20...
Today, my feet felt well enough that I spent 20 minutes brisk walking on the treadmill for 1.2 mile with incline set at 3. Pain increased from 2/3 to 4 during the exercize, which was quite bearable...
After several days of steady usage, it seems that the pain level is now slightly less and the relief lasts a little longer. I now plan to continue the same application regime for at least a month to see if these improvements continue...

Since the pain in my feet is most likely referred pain from some nerve damage and/or inflammation in the sacral area - triggered by the fateful sacrum adjustment - I now plan to apply the cream there as well with the hope that the anti-inflammatory ingredients will percolate and end up making a difference to the pain in the feet...
I know it's a long shot, but I'm willing to try anything at this juncture...
