“I have neuropathy in my legs after I suffered a burn injury. What should I do?”
I have severe neuropathy in my left leg and this was after I had a severe burn injury. Is there a way to treat this issue now or will it only become worse?

You need to be evaluated by a pain clinic. Some medications can relieve neuropathic pain but if they do not it is possible that a spinal cord stimulator may help.
Yes, your pain specialist can explain the medications and surgeries that can decrease the pain. It is important to treat the pain to prevent a "wind up" and maximize the functional use of the leg.
