New Diagnosed SFN with Full Body Allodynia Help!!!!

I've used lidocaine creams too with some positive effect. I also use IcyHot ointment which is essentially menthol and methyl salicylate. Some might say it stings. For me I get a tingling icy effect, burning if on sensitive skin. It seems to overwhelm with neuropathy sensations, creating a numbing effect that for me tends to last for a while sometimes even canceling out the bothersome sensations.

Does the icy hot really help?

I'll have to try the icy hot balm. Does it come in a roll on or is it just a cream/lotion? Would the icy hot no mess pain relief be just as good or is the hot balm better?

How long does it take of consistently using the icy hot to make the pain go away without having to use the icy hot anymore?
