I have not gotten blisters but I have on occasion looked a little pinker. However, that may have been from icing. I purchased an elbow ice unit which was similar to an elbow brace. Nothing helped me until I read up on natural cures. I too have nerve damage in my c-spine. It has felt like I was on fire while being stabbed with knives at the same time. Worst feeling ever! No prescription pain killers helped. I have done extensive physical therapy. I started eating an organic diet to reduce inflammation and taking 1300 mg of Organic Turmeric for pain at night before bed. The pain is gone, unless I overused my arm and fall asleep without taking turmeric. If I overuse my arm and take turmeric I am fine. I do not miss icing my arm for hours at night and crying through the pain. Nor do I miss the lack of sleep from being in too much pain to sleep.

I also have nerve damage in my spine- at C5-6-7 - have had a disc replacement at C6-7 and may have to have others done too- as a result i have peripheral neuropathy in my hands mainly but also sometimes in my feet. My hands also burn and I get blisters - I have to use a steroid cream to stop them. I have also used ice and heat mainly on my right arm / shoulder and my neck - and i don't miss crying through the pain- five years on from my last operation and i am just about in control of the pain now as long as i am careful- but i am trying to get fit again so am tempting the pain to return :( I went jogging last night and paid for it today!

I have Neuropathy in my feet and legs. My legs go numb and sometimes spasms so bad I cry in pain. I have been taking medication to help but if feels like a lost cause. I was switched to a medication that worked wonders but ended up being back on old medication because the new medication I was allergic to. I found that if I am in water they tend to hurt less. At least manageable. I do understand how you feel.

@A MyChronicPainTeam Member I'm relieved to hear I'm not the only one getting blisters with the burning pain. Thank you for sharing!
