Dear Firegirl,
My feet, bottom and top are my most difficult areas to treat. I massage to reduce sensitivity, but yes the gel stings a bit in the beginning and is painful moreso behind and between my toes, but I do think I get some relief. Especially if I'm going to wear some shoes/sandals. I don't like taking pain meds as it isn't my brain that hurts and that is about the only place the pain meds impact. I do take them, but sometimes I just use the gel. For me the issue is that it takes soooooo long to dry.
