Im getting the same thing, the surface burning, could it be the heat?

i have found the epsom lotion working better as im using it. in other words its becoming more effective as i use it night after night. it helped a little at first but its taken a week to become effective enough to not wake up with burning throbbing feet. keeping my fingers crossed X

Hi Echoes...at first I thought it was the heat, but it happens in the AC too. I hope it's not the heat, I love the heat!:eek:This morning it was 64 and I had to wear a jacket for my walk. I also have very tight muscles in my thighs, like they feel like I am stretching them when I walk. All very strange new sensations!

Hi Echoes I think it may be the heat, we haven't had much summer here in Scotland and I have had the burning under control but we went on holiday to the Spanish island of Majorca last week and the burning was excruciating. I am now back home 24hrs and the burning has gone, but my feet were very swollen with the heat so that may have caused the burning. Anyways for the first time ever I was glad to be home from holiday.

Yes, I agree... heat is a big trigger. I've noticed that wearing warm bedtime PJ's makes my feet burn more than wearing a thin tank top and exposing alot of skin. Getting SUN on the feet during the day=burning at night.

Keeping feet under covers in cold weather=burning.
Outside sticking out of the covers= less burning.

I tend to walk around in summer in very scanty clothes. Hubby is wearing tons of clothing and I just can't imagine it.

I am taking a nice new tube of Biofreeze on vacation! Just in case!

Biofreeze certainly saved the day for me, I even found an aerosol version and used that when we went out in the evenings.
I also took a basin in my suitcase as well as 1kg of Epsom Salts- my hubby laughed and had his fngers crossed we wouldn't get stopped at customs.

Been looking into buying some Biofreeze in this country.
Looks like you have to have to get it through a Naturapath.
Can't find any available retail.
Not available to me from Amazon.
Recommendation for use on my hands, roll-on or gel?
Not too much of a problem in the winter, they are like ice all the time anyway.
But in the Summer they are going to burn, I just know it.

numbfoot you can get it on iherb

OOOoooo... I didn't know iherb had it now! That is terrific.

It is really wonderful stuff. My PT wanted me to use it, back when I injured my tendons in my thigh/hip. I found it just excellent for the burning in my feet. I also use it on my knees if they act up.

The gel formulation is far superior to ointments or creams. The new Precise pain cream has 3 times the menthol in it and is not nearly as cooling as the Biofreeze. The Biofreeze also has Ilex extract in it...which is a very potent antioxidant. (aka Yerba Mate when used as a tea orally).

Biofreeze has changed my painful Life dramatically!

It's also on eBay.
