I am 72 years old & having diabetes from 25 years and it is under control by medication. During sleep, I get severe stabbing pain on my foot top part and I cannot sleep at all. It could be due to peripheral neurosis of my legs. I used to get some relief when herudroid was applied. But now it does not give much relief. please advise.
