Brief Answer:
need to start Pregabalin in addition to your current treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I am Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopedic Surgeon.

Burning sensation is mostly due to damage to sensory nerves in the skin. This also takes time to heal. To reduce the burning I suggest you start Pregabalin tabs along with rest of the medicines (you may need a prescription from your local physician).

Thanks for the question. Please feel free to ask any other Question.
