How Can Burning Sensations In Legs And Arms Be Alleviated?

I have neuropathy caused by the medication Prograf, an anti rejection medication that I take, as I had a lung transplant in 2006. Unfortunately I have extreme burning in my legs and feet, and tolerable burning in my arms, and my face sometimes... the Gabapentin I take does not really help a lot, I take 400mg 3 times a day. Is there something else I could do or take to alleviate this discomfort.

Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist,  's  Response
you need to understand the human body metabolic activity as it will be of always a different in nature. kindly focus on doing regular free exercises under a recommended physical therapist which will help u alot. u already said something about ling transplant so need to be slow as the balance between the all systems needs to be performed by slow exercise. too much of medication will not solve ur problems.
