I don't have that problem, but do have burning neuropathies in other places. Are you diabetic or have a B12 deficiency? If your doctor trys to prescribe Gabpentin, ask if you can have Lyrica instead. Gabpentin is about as effective as Tic Tacs, Lyrica gives me decent relief after the dosage was eventually increased to 100 milligrams 3X a day. I hope you can find some relief soon.

This sounds like neuropathic pain, and if it's new, you need to get it looked at right away. It might be from a reversible cause that can be corrected, like a Vitamin deficiency. As @@Miss Mac said, if you are diabetic, that's an unfortunate complication of diabetes. Or, if you are like me, you could have it and never know why. I started getting it about 5 years ago for no known reason, and I've been looked at inside and out, we just don't know why. Unfortunately, that not all that uncommon. Sorry you are having that - it's not fun!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
