I am having a lot of problems with burning pain, mainly on my legs but also on my arms and sometimes on my shoulders. The burning feels like someone has spread hot chillis on my skin. It’s not a dull ache nor a shooting pain; it doesn’t feel like it is deep in the muscle, but maybe that is just my perception.
I’ve been in relapse since October 2014, and whilst some symptoms have eased, this burning pain has increased.
The pain doesn’t seem to relate to obvious activity, though it has been worse since I had a setback after a good week 2 weeks ago when I did too much.
My other major symptoms are neurological: nausea, tinnitus, night sweats, the general poisoned feeling and exhaustion.
I am currently taking 300mg gabapentin twice in the daytime, and 600mg at bedtime. This is not relieving the pain, which is worrying as this drug is supposed to target neuropathic pain such as this.
I am seeking suggestions on how to reduce this kind of burning pain. I live in the UK so cannot get certain drugs that might be available in other parts of the world.
Thank you.
