I have allodynia with touch. Sitting causes the burning is in my back and buttocks. Waistband and bra cause burning sensation. I have small fiber neuropathy. I take gabapentin. I also use a red light band in the evenings to soothe the burning.
Has anyone tried Magnesium Breakthrough for Allodynia pain? I have tactile allodynia on my back, and take Gabapentin, which (usually) helps to a degree. My niece had restless leg syndrom and reported that Magnesium Breakthough resolved that issue for her. The brand name is Bioptimizers. Just wondering.
I'm replying to my own question - ha ha.
I asked my PCP about dosage of magnesium supplements, and he said that magnesium is not known to affect nerve issues. I'm going to continue to take the Magnesium Breakthrough, as I really stocked up on it, and it's probably just a better form of the supplement.
Has anyone taken Cymbalta (Duloxetine) as an antidepressant and/or to help with neuropathy? Has it helped? I'm grasping at straws, here, as the allodynia on my back is very painful. Gabapentin helps, but does not totally relieve the pain.
Thank you.
It is a soft band with red lights and a timer. I use it for 20 min in the area that is burning. It does not cure the burning sensation but is very soothing for a period of time. I purchased it from Amazon.

Can you explain what a "red light band" is, and how it works for you?
Thank you.
