They don't hurt only when standing, but standing definitely makes them hurt more. Sometimes when I've barely been on my feet, they start burning somewhat badly at night or when they're warm. I never have seen a foot doctor about this, so maybe that would be wise. |

Try the Biofreeze. You can get it now on Amazon at a good price.
The menthol in the gel blocks heat signaling nerves and works for several hours to stop burning. It is very good when you are trying to fall asleep. The gel is different from other products. Also it has Ilex in it which is an herb from S.America that has antioxidants in it. I think the antioxidant action is very helpful in this product. There is a new product by BenGay, called Cold Therapy. But I haven't tried it yet. Next time I go to WalMart (possibly this week) I'll look for it. I just saw it on TV the other day. Looks similar to Biofreeze without the Ilex however.

mrsD, does BioFreeze have a smell, like a menthol smell? Or is it odorless?
Thanks! |

Right out of the tube there is a menthol odor. But it disappears in minutes very quickly. So the overall effect is odorless to humans at least. It is really an elegant gel base...no residue on the skin, etc. I hate sloppy ointments myself so I like it.
Can't say what the kitties smell however!
