[QUOTE="katebrady, post: 2688678, member: 23564"] I occasionally use Vics or a magnesium spray: don’t always work and like you type 1 for 40 so now getting some long term side effects. I have beautiful purple leather boots they look like DMs made for me via the high risk diabetic podiatry department plus slippers. They have insoles specially made for me (I do have scleroderma that causes a few problems). You are entitled to self refer and the area I’m in you are entitled to two pairs of shoes made for you. My boots are waterproof and the second pair I’ve had: love them and they do help with my walking. Been told no way should I wear wellies because of the slipping around in them lol. Your podiatry dept may be able to advise on any footwear they can provide. I have been prescribed Duloxetine 30 mg but like you I don’t want to take pills ( pharmacy pointed out that these are used for depression and issues coming of them if taken for a while). I recently had to take them for three days to settle the pain but that was it. They don’t seem to work quickly and with me at least two days to reduce any of the pain, Not nice at all and if anyone else can advise on anything else I’d love to know. I wax trainer socks will padded soles and heels from Amazon it loose fitting cotton socks. X [/QUOTE]
