Suggest Treatment For Burning Sensation In Legs

I have been suffering with intense burning sensation in both legs for 3 or 4 years. Somedays my toes feel tight & swollen. I ve tried gabapentin and cymbalta, but they did not help. The only relief I get is when I go to bed. The discomfort calms down, but it never completely goes away. As soon as I get up in the morning the intense burning starts all over again & usually lasts all day everyday. I ve tried ice packs & cold towels. Lately I ve noticed this burning sensation has moved up into my left arm & left breast. Dose this sound like anything you can help me with? Thank you, Delores Adams

There can be two causes of this type of pain.One is nerve compression in the spine.Other can be poor B 12 level or smoking causing Burgers's disease. I would recommend you to get ultrasound of the leg to see if there is normal vessels. Also MRI of the spine to see if there is nerve compression in the back. According to that further management can be done.
