Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The burning sensation in the area of hernia can be due to a superficial nerve irritation or a vitamin B 12 deficiency. Glucosamine and chondroitin are lubricating agents and they are not likely to help you since arthritis has been ruled out.
This can also be caused by lack of blood supply as a result of plaque formation in the blood vessels, diabetes, stroke, multiple sclerosis, underactive thyroid and abnormal levels of calcium, potassium, or sodium in your body.
Firstly, I’ll request you to get your blood sugar/HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) tested to rule out Diabetes mellitus. Also get your thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12/ Methylcobalamin for some days and see if the symptoms improve.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
