Burning Sensations
Posted by pakeener on July 1, 2021 at 4:26 pmDoes anyone else experience intense burning sensations? I have only recently started experiencing them. I contacted my neurologist and was prescribed Gabapentin. After reading all of the possible side effects, I decided not to take it. I’m taking extra strength Tylenol rapid release capsules instead, but it’s really not effective.

I get tingling/burning across my upper back and scalp. I take Ibuprophen + extra strength Tylenol for that and other aches that i get. I also just rest which I think is more helpful than anything.

Hi all,
I was having burning sensations in both legs and feet. I have found taking a natural medication called Neuropathy maximum strength has help tremendously. I take two pills in the morning and two pills at night. it’s all natural so no side effects. love it. no more burning sensation and pain.

My body burns for a few hours before I get up, I’ve taken a laser temperature of chest, arms, legs before get up and it’s average is 100.8. My ALS Doctor has no explanation. Do any of you have doctors who can explain the burning?

Hi, I have had a burning sensation in my left foot for about a year now, prior to my diagnoses with ALS. Since then I have been taking Gabapentin every day and it works. I have not noticed any side effects from the drug. My experience for what it is worth.

John, Thanks for your response.
I have been taking four Gabapentin for years which hasn’t helped the burning in the morning.

I wonder if there are accompanying lesions, like in lichen planus, a chronic inflammatory condition?

Gabapentin’s side effect of sedation, goes away. Max dose here is 2700mg, usually given at 900mg three times daily. It is a first-line neuropathic medication. Lyrica is the other option. Good luck. God bless.
