Burning Hand Pain

Posted by atchastain @atchastain, Aug 7, 2020

I have Cervical radiculopathy and myelopathy. I had surgery 2 years ago, but still have burning pain and sensitivity in my hand. I'm on 3400mg Gabapentin, 10 mg Buprenorphine pain patch and a compound topical. I have an appt next week with my Dr to access my meds. What has everyone had luck with to relieve the burning?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

@helennicola I'm probably the one who talked about it. I get it at Amazon for $16 instead of the prescription (copay $120.00), which Medicare no longer pays for. I just ran out and need to reorder.

As with most topicals, it helps for a limited time. I use it to reduce the pain enough to go to sleep, and I use it when I'm in my recliner.

Good morning.
I have tried Uber Numb for the burning in my feet. It never has seemed to make any difference.
I have tried one coating, then 2, letting each application dry before putting on shoes.
Can those of you who have used it successfully please post how you apply it, and how much you use each time.
Thanks!

@sunnyflower Hi again, Just tried to private message you, and my message is not sending. No idea why. If you are feeling up for it, send me a quick private message, so I can answer you with what I wanted to tell you. Thanks, Lori Renee

I’m glad you did Jim, it works well on my stubborn bursitis. I also told a friend about it who had been using another lidocaine cream which her neurologist had recommended which was almost 3 times as much si thanks again! Helen

I’ve never used it on my feet, on my hip I just apply an even (not thick) coating about an inch larger than painful area. It enables me to then sleep on that side. Helen

@sunnyflower Hi again! I just figured out a different way to send you a private message, and it worked. If you have never had a private message on Connect, look at the top right hand corner, where you see a little envelope. Click on that little envelope, and your private messages are in there. I sent you one! Lori Renee

@sunnyflower Good luck with the Wisemen Healing Balm. You are actually supposed to smell it first for a few seconds, and then apply it. Sometimes for me, it works better than other times, but I would not be without it. I am also going to private message you about another product I use for Nerve pain. Lori Renee

Hi Lori, the Wiseman balm smells great, just like I thought it would. I think it may be working just a tad. I will continue with it and hope it works a little more. The consistency is interesting! Take care, Sunnyflower

@sunnyflower Wiseman Balm is not consistent with me. Sometimes it works beautifully to calm the burning, and other times, not so much. But because it does at times, I continue with it. At least it works sometimes!!! And yes, it smells nice. Good luck with it....Lori Renee

Thx so much. I'm lost in so many emails ; can't track bc of Gabapentin so please forgive if this is a repeat. Is there a way, besides scrolling up/down, when that is an option lik it is here, , to tell whether or not I've already replied? Sometimes the email stands alone. Thx so much, Sunnyflower
