I would like to make a suggestion about applying the Lidoderms to feet.

I don't think they work well on the bottoms of the feet.
The nerves come down the tops of your feet--- so try 1/2 patch on the instep of each foot, leaning to the arch area.

This works better for neuropathy intervention.

This is a really good site to visualize the foot. Nerves are shown in yellow.

Look around that site...it is really helpful.

They even show an alternate way to lace shoes to take pressure off the instep:

This trick really helped me!

Ok- I feel like an idiot but where is the instep?

Instep, is the high point over the top of your foot.
Mine is very high. Which give me also an also high arch.
Opposite of flat footed.

I agree w/ Mrs D. and I'm sorry I didn't' mention that.
Do you get more pain in your toes, than anywhere else?
