Burning Sensation In Fingers, Toes And Sore Wrists. Could This Be Carpel Tunnel Syndrome?

My reply is below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy, which means the cause of your symptoms are related to disease of nerves of hands and feet.
It could be carpal tunnel syndrome (caused by an entrapment of nerve at the level of wrist). This produces pain, burning and tingling in fingers, hands, forearms and arms, which are more at nights. Numbness and weakness of hands may also occur.
You need to see a neurologist for confirmation of diagnosis, who may do a nerve conduction studies (NCV & EMG) to confirm the diagnosis. It is unfortunate that your previous neurologist was not interested in helping you, but you can see another one.
As of now, you could benefit from taking pregabalin or gabapentin capsules.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any further information.
