A follow-up....

*edit*
the Zostrix Cream did work but it will take several days, perhaps a week, for you to experience the results. "No" it is not painful to apply, even if your feet are burning, and so I highly recommend it. BUT, I would say to ask your doctor about it, as any medication, before starting use. If he/she says gives you the OK you can buy it over the counter and if you're like me you'll find it works great, as long as you apply it daily. To start you may find you have to apply it 2 or 3 times a day.

Good luck, I do hope it works for you!


Extra comment: For those that didn't read my earlier post Zostrix Cream, if applied, as a topical cream can completely stop the surface burning many experience due to a Peripheral Nuropathy. As mentioned above, ask you doctor before starting the use of this or any medication.
