Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Burning over the body is common feature in a couple of nerve related problems.
It would be difficult to give you accurate diagnosis without examination.
I am therefore suggesting some tests-
1. Complete hemogram,
2. Thyroid profile
3. Sugars and HbA1c
4. Vitamin B12 and Folate levels.

The chances are that the burning sensation is due to the small nerves getting affected by a deficiency. The above tests will help u know which.
Replacement of the lacking factor may help you feel better

Meanwhile request your doc for a prescription of pregabalin

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further. Best of luck.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
