Why no dicussion for creams from your PCP? It is not like an opiate. If your doc. won't talk to you about this, perhaps it is time for a new doc. You should be allowed to find out about this stuff. I do use one, and it does help. It realieves the burning on the bottom of my foot, and the pins and needles for hours. Not 100% but better. Two docs. recommended this compound. It should be made available to you. ginnie
