Nerve Heat

[treefrog]

I haven't had surgery (yet), and I have been having that heat feeling. So, no, it isn't just after surgery.

Hey B,

If you're not on it already and if it bothers you too much, you might try Neurontin or Lyrica. Can have mind altering affects but it's worth a try.

Good luck, Dale

Rosy, Kathy, et al,

I ditto what everyone said. I had the "burning" in the feet before surgery, and currently. With the new onset of symptoms, it came on. It kind of goes with the pins and needles or numbness in my feet, usually one or the other.
I am laying on the couch and I have it right now, but it is not constant (24/7).
The Neurotin or Lyrica definitely have an effect on sciatica and the nerve symptoms, like numbness, burning and pins and needles.
The medication reduces the symptoms.

Hi Runner

If it reduces the symptoms do you have any vicious side effects?

I was taking cymbalta 80 mg, it made me dry heave, head spins , not feeling well at all and the nerve issues were still their.

Be well
