    That would be my guess. If Lanacane doesn't help I don't suppose other forms of benzocaine would either.

    Here's a wild idea ... what about capsaicin cream? It's a natural anti-inflammatory, plus it might help wake the nerves up a little more?

    That's a really good idea. It's a good thing to have on-hand, anyhow.

    I really think it was my narrow shoes, since my symptoms have been gradually decreasing. I need to get around to selling those shoes.
