Nerve pain on bottom of feet. I need smooth , nothing raised. Picture looks like raised bumps.

The picture is of the bottom of the insert which is a gel with both slightly raised as well as indented "bumps". The lighter portion in the pic is a soft plastic which gives some arch structure. On the reverse side, which is what comes into contact with the bottom of your foot is some sort of fabric. I don't feel any bumps coming through the bottom of the insole. They are very soft. I don't have nueropathy but I don't see how anyone would feel anything from the underside of the insert.

The gel areas are on the bottom, while the top surfaces are smooth. I'm not aware of them when I walk.

No bumps but your best option is a good diagnosis of your problem BEFORE treatment (advice from a retired healthcare pro). Probably worth the $20 to try them out, though; that could facilitate an easier diagnosis.

It is one solid piece and it actually hurt my foot. I have planter fasciitis and unfortunately, it did not help that.

I just feel it mostly in my feet, best to set it on carpet. You can lay down and put you leg on it for leg Massage.

stick the pads on another location so u can hit a nerve, or maybe turn it up higher. I had to turn the pin on extra high and find a nerve. So maybe that's the same with the pads

The raised areas represent mountains, it's not supposed to be smooth. I'm sure you could return it and get a smooth version of a globe.

There is a small amount of extra cushioning on the heel. I wouldn't describe it as a raised heel, but it is not absolutely flat.

I found you need it to be longer than what is comfortable to live in :) Run really warm water on your legs first then use plenty of soap on the blade and the pain is not too bad.

I usually soaked my feet in a warm bath the next morning to let it soften then just gave it a good rub with my fingers. You may want to try petroleum or baby oil instead of something so harsh. I found that some packages have stickier tape than others which I didn't like.

I would be careful using anything like this on your feet. I also have neuropathy and doubt it would help that type of pain.

One of the modes is "sole" as in sole of your foot... so it seems that this could stimulate your heel. You might want to experiment with pad placement, modes, and intensity to see what works best for you.

The outside bottoms have 3 raised ridges to rest on . They are not smooth .

As far as I know the "stickiness" on these is the fat from the duck. If you e-mail the company they are good about getting back to you with any questions. I wrote to them asking about the source of the feet wanting to be sure they were sourced in America. They responded within 24 hours. Try dropping them an e-mail if yo're concerned.

There is a pressure down on the top of the foot but not a massaging movement.

You can massage into bottom of feet-especially balls if feet n toes - up n down spine - back of neck u bend of arms-also good to apply drop of lavender oil for calming to palms of hand :)

If you're not using filtered water, it could be little white calcified flakes (lime scale) from the water. I used to get that when I used tap water. Nasty feeling if you accidentally get them in tea and swallow them. If you think this is the problem, add vinegar and boil it, then wash thoroughly; ideal if you only use filtered water after that (makes better tea/coffee anyway).

I haven't had that experience. I think you should get it checked out. Good luck.

I bought it for my husband who has diabetic neuropathy and his feet tingle and hurt at night. He used it a lot in the beginning but it really didn't help that much. The thing that's helped him the most is Magnilife Diabetic Nerve Cream. Good luck!
