What can stop or help the nerves from burning. my 80yr old granny is suffering really bad. fingertips are on fire she cries all night. please help.

Directions: First, she needs to visit a neurologist and determine the underlying causation. She could be experiencing nerve pinching, but could also be developing a small fibre neuropathy. Many medications can be useful, including lyrica, (pregabalin) cymbalta, neurontin, etc. This can be controlled.
