I know that Avon used to make some kind of foot soothing lotion

that helped burning feet, but i cant remember what it was. I

think it was part of their foot works collection.

I am not familiar with isosorbide spray either.

But along the lines of Gretchen's icing her feet, I

found a product which has been a godsend for me as far

as sleeping at night with the burning.

I bought them from Footsmart (www.footsmart.com)for

around $30/pair. They're called " Foot Soother " . I

just keep them in the refrigerator until I need them,

which is usually 4 hours or so after I've gone to bed,

when the burning wakes me up.

They are gel pads shaped like a footprint, with velcro

straps to hold them on your feet like a sandal. They

are very slick on the bottom, so DON'T try walking in

them, but I am able to sleep with my feet under the

covers with them on (my shoulders love blankets on).

I've even slept all night thru, and then woke up with

them still on my feet, just like when I first put them

on! And the sheets were not wet with condensation or

melted ice! (of course, the pads were not cold

anymore, but it was time to get up anyway)

In the morning I take them off and put them back in

the refrigerator.

I waited a while to get them, thinking $30 was kind of

expensive for such a simple thing, but I am so happy

with them. I even waited a month to say anything to

the group, to see if I would have any problems with

them.

I highly recommend them to anyone with the burning and

that " sick feeling " it causes.

Also, they can be heated for cold feet--in a pot of

hot(but not boiling) water--but NOT in the microwave.

I haven't needed to try them for warming my feet.

Hope this info can help some of you. I am too lazy to

fill ice bags, and then to deal with the wetness ice

causes--too many surgeries in my past where this was a

requirement post-op!

Have a good weekend everyone!
