My brothers have been using this cream for their diabetic foot pain. They both have jobs that keep them on their feet all day and they say it's really helping , at night also. Since some meds for diabetic pain are used for fibro also, I'm trying this stuff out ...so far so good!. It's MagniLife Diabetic Neuropathy Foot Cream . Walmart sells it.

I need it for my whole body?
I will ask Dr. about it...thank you.

I use "Red Feather" pain spray sold at most drug stores & Health Food Stores or online. It works fast! xo's

I have used icy hot...and it didn't help much...it just felt cold and like I was doing something which made me psychologically feel better

How long does it last....how often do you have to apply it?
I was wondering because I used biofreeze from the chiropractor before but it only last maybe 30 minutes at most. I ran out rather quickly. Is be interested to try something else if I had more info before buying it. Lol

I use Voltaren gel, it's prescription only. Really helps me with the neuropathy, and also my old breaks and sprains. I use it once or more daily. My husband has begun using it, also. (Wish he'd get his own prescription).

Hoping your feet feel better, love, abby

Keep us posted.

I use an arnica-based gel or five, but yeah, sometimes it's to tell myself I'm doing something mor than for anything being *done*.

I use bio freeze, chiropractors sell it. I bought a big bottle through Amazon.

One can also make one themselves. Take hand lotion and had the spice cumin until it's a dark golden brown. It works great and u smell like a taco. Also essential oil mixed with coconut butter helps.

I use the same as MagicPill the biofreeze my dad got me into it works at times and it comes in spray or cream I think that it is trial and error on what is going to work for you. Good Luck

Icy Hot and Voltaren Gel just didn't work for me. I was prescribed Lidocaine patches. It helps my back, neck, and shoulder pain.

I have a drawer with about 20 bottles of tubes and creams for pain that someone recommended and none of them work for me. Some, like bio freeze , I can't use because the smell is so bad.

I do have a lidocaine gel that I was just prescribed and it works as good as the patches.

I had a very serious allergic reaction to Voltarin that almost killed me so I'm very wary now of trying anything new.

It says to use twice daily.
I've used the Bio Freeze too and liked it. There's also Perform Spray made by Bio Freeze. I think it lasts longer.

I use Tiger Balm and it works well for me.

Still using Voltaren gel, hands and feet, ankles and wrists. It' fabulous and cheap. ask a dr. for a prescription.

Update : the older brother says his feet are now pain free!
