“”also topical DMSO at 5%,””
Odd - for the 2nd time this week, DMSO has come up. I believe I was the one who mentioned it in an earlier thread about how many years it had been when I first used it - in the ‘70’s as I recall when it had to be ordered and mailed in a plain brown envelope like it was pornography - banned, I thought but someone else wrote that it wasn’t banned just not approved by the FDA years ago.
I have foot neuropathy and never thought of using it for that but I have back trouble and wouldn’t be able to apply it to my feet. Good idea tho’. Also leg cramps at night - diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency and had 9 treatments for that but can’t say it helped much except for taking down the swelling of feet/legs.
I use just about every pain relief cream made by MagniLife and it’s a nightly ritual for me before bed. BUT I usually need to get up in the night because of the pain to apply some TheraWorx Nerve Pain foam....THAT does help. I had restless legs when I was a teenager but that was so many years ago, I don’t remember being that young. It isn’t anything like what I go through now...
The person who can come up with a cure for foot neuropathy is going to become a wealthy person!!
I suggested earlier this week that FR come up with a group who loves to read so we can exchange ideas on books etc...perhaps we need a group who suffers with neuropathy and/or restless legs..

I have a dedicated rubber scraper that I use as a reach extender when applying something in a hard-to-reach spot like between my shoulder blades.
Hubby and I swear by DMSO ... he uses it on his back ... I use it, occasionally for a sore muscle/joint or burn.
