Burning in inner thighs and needle pinch burning in feet

So the tingling is only in thighs and feet? Have you had any autoimmune testing? Do you have any spinal issues? Are you on any meds that could cause this?

I have lots of problems with burning and tingling- 20 years- and no answers as yet. I have never considered pre-diabetes. I have lupus and spinal stenosis and also certain medicines make it worse.

I hope you can get a second opinion.

Started with Thighs but don’t feel any tingling and burning in thighs now. It’s only in feet no auto immune i did ANA profile. I don’t take any medicine except gabapin. Do you suggest any test or medicine.

Hi all
My inner thighs started burning and tingling from in Jun-23 and after 2 months my feet also started burning and tingling and its been 11 months I don’t have the clue. But recently neoro physician has suggested glucose tolerance test which came normal but second hour sample is impaired as per doctor and he told me even though its normal but second sample results are impaired hence my nurve pain is due to pre diabetic.
Please anyone advise who faced the same issue or should I look for any other options. I have alredy done vitamins and biopsy of surel nurve which came negative.

Thanks

Have you had small fiber neuropathy skin punch biopsy to check for sensory nerve damage in legs?

Have you had an EMG to determine nerve damage?

I took Gabapentin for 2 weeks, but had to stop due to blurred vision. During that time, my burning was almost completely gone, but it didn’t affect the tingling or numbness. Right now, even though I don’t take the Gabapentin anymore, my burn spot is about the same as with the med. I’ve learned it may take months or years for the B12 deficiency damage to repair,

The neurologist prescribed me Lexapro, which I have not started yet. I hesitated for several reasons, including side effects and getting off it. Anyway, when I went to the neurologist, I also had fasciculations throughout my body. He said to treat my symptoms, since there was no neuropathy. My reading indicates that not only can covid cause the tingling, numbness, etc., but so can anxiety. I do have extremely high anxiety right now due to a family situation that I’m trying to resolve. Plus, it runs in my family.

So, I began therapy to help with my anxiety and the physical ailments that I have. Plus, I have smell and taste disorders (from covid) that is very stressful and emotionally draining. And, I’m in the process of a metamorphosis …physically and emotionally. (Lost 60 pounds so far and getting into shape. Lots of changes.) I love therapy and believe it really has helped me a lot! I’m trying to let go of pains and ailments and focus on my good health. I’m fortunate to have good energy, motivation and a good healthy body, with a few exceptions.

I hope you can figure out what you’re experiencing. I get satisfaction from gaining information about ailments, but sometimes it works against me and pushes me to anxiety. I have to put the brakes on it.

i have severe neuropathy in my legs and feet that keeps getting worse. It started when i was hospitalized for congestive heart failure. i tried compression socks for both legs and feet but they make it worse. i also tried internet suggestions (pills) that don't work - i don't have swelling, just horrible pain and burning and tingling that prevents me from sleeping. elevating legs does not help. my heart doc suggested gabapentin but then said no because i take Vimpat. i am at my wits end and empathize with all of you who are suffering. any suggestions that helped others would be greatly appreciated

gabapentin is not used for all epileptic seizures. I know it can be used for focal seizures, which is not what I have. I also take 3 other meds for my epilepsy (frontal lobe) and I have an appointment scheduled with my neurologist. thank you so much for your kindness and concern
