The new podiatrist prescribed Prudoxin (generic form of Zonalon) which is used primarily for itching but he says it is great for burning/numb feet. Guess what? He's absolutely right! The main ingredient is 5% doxepin hydrochloride and the only side effect listed is "drowsiness," which I haven't noticed as I use it at bedtime.

I think of this as a miracle cream for my achy, burning, numb feet. It costs $30 (my copay) for a small tube but I use a tiny thin film of it.

I'm using Biofreeze for my ankles & calves which are not as painful as my feet.

I look forward to your opinion of the new Tylenol cream. Might be a less expensive replacement for Prudoxin.
