FWIW, I still use it and I mostly do so when the burning pain increases or gets out of hand. It knocks the constant burning down a couple of notches. If you haven't already done so, you should order the book "Striking Back" from the TNA's website or check your library for it. There is a lot of good info in there regarding treatment, etc. and just everything TN.
