Burning sensation in lower legs

I googled Sombra but didn't know if I should get "hot or cold" for burning legs. My feet and hands get beet red and one ankle is a bluish color all the time. I hesitate to ask my Rheumatologist for pain medications, he's not a talker and he seemed suspicious when I first saw him, he seemed to think I was trying to get pain pills and any questions, he refers me to my PCP to handle. My mom passed from Rheumatoid vasculitis with big sores on her legs, my 13 year old niece passed from Lupus, a stroke and my sister has ITP so it runs in my family. I believe I have Rheumatoid vasculitis but the doctor is being cautious, I'm 76 and wish there was a medicine that doesn't cause nausea stomach upset but time is ticking. Thank you so much for allowing me to complain, my has heard enough, LOL.

Is he the only rheumatologist in your area? With a family history of vascular problems, he needs to figure out a diagnosis and treatment it accordingly ASAP. Ask him or your PCP if they think tramadol would help your burning pain. As for cool or warm sombra, I'd say wait until you get a diagnosis and wait to see if tramadol would help your burning feet. It sounds like you need to be your own advocate with this rheumatologist (or find a new one?), there's no need for you to suffer and lose sleep.
