Hi- I’m so sorry. This was my very first symptoms. Most doctors can’t or won’t help.
I’ve tried savella, kepra n Lyrica. Just recently I’m trying Nucynta witch actually works pretty good. Until now only opiates seem to really knock th burning n nerve pain.
Salon pas numbing or any non capsaicin works too.
Prayers for you as I know even the bed sheets hurt🙁
I have sensory neuropathy. No numbness but very sensitive to the touch. It is in my legs and feet. My neurologist prescribed nortriptyline, 20 mg., an old anti-depressant which they found worked for nerve pain. I have been pain free for 5 weeks now. The doctors said "when it works..it works". Meaning it helps some persons. Other it may not help.
I tried Gabapentin and acupuncture. Nortriptyline has been a miracle for me.
Hello @gwen4, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I'm glad to hear you have an appointment to see your regular doctor this coming Friday. Hopefully she will be able to figure what is causing your pain and suggest a treatment. I have no medical experience but your symptoms sound similar to Fibromyalgia. Here is an article with questions and answers on the condition.

Do you normally write down your questions for the doctor and take them to your appointment with you? I have found it helps so that I don't forget to ask them at the appointment.
