Unfortunately the only thing that has helped me with the pain is nerve blocks & heat. I know, why add heat to a limb that is already hot? But if you think about it, it's a hot "sensation" from the nerves - it isn't really burned. Heat really helps calm my agitated nerves down. I think the burning sensation is a part of RSD that there is no real solution for. - Good luck, Shelley
Hi Shelley - Thank you for the advice. Now that I think about it, when I take a hot shower, the pain does go away but it comes back again as soon as I sit down and start working at my computer. It probably also doesn't help that I have to use a footpedal all day for transcribing reports.
I'm thinking maybe there is something I can rub on my leg, like Ben Gay or something. Any thoughts on this?
***** hazel. Put ***** hazel on thick paper towels and wrap the burning area. The paper towel gets hot. It's worked well for me and completely took the burning away.
Hey Norine, my epidural infusion took my burning pain away. Talk to your doc about it, and/or about the SGBs, those are your best shot at stopping the burning I think. I can't remember what all you've done already, I'm sorry, my memory's bad.
How do you stop the burning pain?
