Suggest Remedy For Persistent Burning And Tingling Sensation In Body

These are suggestive of peripheral neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. I have reviewed these symptoms fully and they are suggestive of nerve disease affecting peripheral nerves. This is commonly called neuropathy and may be cause be vitamin deficiency especially vitamin B12, diabetes, hypertension, and many others have no exact cause.
Treatment consists in using drugs that have been shown to be effective against this. Some are fluoxetin, carbamezepin, gabapentin, etc. At this time, I will like that you confirm this diagnosis with your doctor and start treatment. We should be able to witness an improvement within 4-6weeks after the start of treatment. Moderate daily physical exercise is also helpful.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.


For how long have you taken gabapentin?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Gabapentin usually takes several weeks to function fully. I will like to know for how long you have been using it. If this is more than 6weeks, I will recommend that you get amitryptilline added unto it.
It is not a permanent condition. What needs to be done is that the cause should be identified and managed as well because these medications only control but do not address the main cause.
I hope this helps. Let me hear from you. Thanks and I wish you well.
