Sorry I'm not much help.
At times, it is like a hot iron on my body, others, acid being poured on me.
I have been known to wrap my body in cold towels. Or take a cold bath to help relieve it.
Gentle hugs, Linda

if your dr prescribes neurontin and that works for you!!! it is pretty amazing for so many people - but for me not. i can't tolerate it. or the other medications shared here.
i am prescribed an ointment, sometimes lotion form - lidocaine? and sometimes that helps me a bit.
the part across my back feels like acid burn : (
relaxation helps me - finding a way to mentally take myself away from it. the medical marijuana is a good idea i think. it will work for some people - the people who ... can embrace it. you can eat it in cookies, etc.
it helps to be able to share together here so we know we aren't nuts.
"I have had awful nerve pain, most recently in my leg. So, after looking up info, I learned about supplements that help with nerve pain. So now, I take Alpha Lipoic Acid, B12, CoQ10 and Biotin. After being on them for several weeks, my pain is almost gone in my leg. I have been on Neurotin before, but didn't like the side effects. I have become a believer in supplements and really study up on them before I take them."
Gentle hugs, Linda
