He really needs to talk to his doctor, it also could be a side effect from one of his meds. CALL the doctor. There should be someone at the office that can answer the questions. You never know if it is a side effect from meds.
I'm sorry he is in so much pain, I will keep him in my prayers.

He had this incrediable heat/redness/burning/sweating and itching.
Had a gabapent cream compounded but he gets like acid trips from it.
Currnetly on 600 mg of Lyrica, cmbalta, celebrex, trasadone, atavin.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A IDEA ON HOW TO STOP THE ITCHING. He has been getting sympathic lumbar block every two months that help with the feet - but his doctor is 150 miles away and will not be here till Nov 13.
Bad part is that he is 6'4" and must travel with his legs extended and does not have a vehicle. OH! and it is a worker comp injury.
THANK all of you for any help.
