The reason I asked is because I experience a burning sensation on the top of my head as well as one arm from time to time. Mine seems more intense/painful when I am hot. I did take neurontin for about two years, but stopped last summer as I did not want to continue to increase the dose, I was taking a rather high dosage, and it was no longer helping. The doctor described this as neuralgia, so it can manifest itself in different ways.

I think that massages, etc may help with spasticity, but not nerve pain.
