Now some burning has started!

I have been using the Precise cream on my right side only, so I can compare to my left untreated side.

My left foot has been very rough lately, so I started the cream on it....surprise....significant burning there! However, this morning it appears less swollen. It has been moderately swollen, on the instep for a while now, and I am not looking forward to a doctor visit for it. This is the area when I had surgery 50 yrs ago to remove a cavernous hemagioma tumor that bled all the time.
Today with lasers, it would probably be a much less invasive surgery. At the time, the doctors told me emphatically, NOT to have surgery on it again EVER. Every time I've shown a doctor so far this huge scar and discussed it, I get a very BLANK look.

Now I worry the tumor is growing back under the skin? It is interfering with many shoes I try to wear. I can't wear anything now that hits that scar, as it is very painful. If I try to wear
walking sports shoes, they need a huge padded tongue and I can't lace the shoe over it.

So today it appears the foot is less swollen. And it is still stinging some. I think the swelling is from disrupted lymphatic drainage since it is always better when I lie down, and it goes South if I am on it all day.

The Precise is working best on my right hand with the very stiff finger. And it works some on my knee and right foot.

So far I have mixed results with it. I don't know if it is going to help PNers. It appears to be a moderate intervention for arthritis type pain. With 10% menthol one would think it would work on nerves, but it doesn't seem as effective as Biofreeze is for me at all which is 3.5% menthol.

I did sleep thru the night, last night with no waking. THAT is a definite improvement to note.
