Sheets on his toes at night made him feel like his toe nails were being ripped out.
Yes....bad bad foot cramps!
Extreme burning sensation.
Going barefoot made it worse.
Horrific feeling of being badly bruised.
We just did an experiment...he hasn't put any on since this morning....should have done so a couple of hours ago....he was sitting at about 4 -5 in pain. It took exactly 4 minutes after he applied the creme to go down to a 2/3 in the toes, ball and shin....5 minutes later it is a 1 - at most. (arch prob more like a 3)
I don't have the % of each drug, but I am going to try and get it for you. The pharmacy goes through so much of this they mix up a quart at a time, and they said most patients get wonderful results.
That's amazing, Tammy.
That line about the toe nails is EXACTLY what I go through. I can't keep my feet under even a sheet for that reason, and then they freeze all night, which sucks and makes the cramping worse. I went swimming with my son recently while at a hotel, and I told my husband that this was the longest I'd been barefoot in about 5 years. I describe the odd numbness mixed with sensitivity to people as the feeling of having stamped my feet on wet pavement for an hour. To hear it described by someone else so closely... it just brings home to me... well, how much it's a part of your life when you have it. I will *definitely* see if I can get this and try it. Almost brings tears to my eyes to think about some relief after so long.
