Hi Lovefamilypets,
Yes, I have had the same problem with EVERY pill I take. It started in Jan 2011 (after years of heavy pain meds AND after a fall in ICU during ketamine which nearly killed me). After the fall, I felt as though if I took another pill my body was going to shut down so I tried to decrease all meds. Of course going cold turkey off fentanyl (which are some rsd docs withdrawl methods:.( but felt inhumane to me).
About two months later, I noticed that no matter what pill I took my burning pain increased for hours. Whereas before taking the pill I did not have that burning pain...then took the pill and got it immediately. So, I weaned myself (after over five years of pain meds) off all pain meds. I have had iv's of natural vitamins for a year now and I believe it helped me to get off the meds. I feel the burning pain is God's way of telling me "Get off that stuff!"
I have noticed that any pill I put in my mouth no matter what it is from a half of Tylenol to motrin to melatonin it will increase the burning pain in my body. It is strange but so is rsd lol. I took it as my body could no longer handle the pain meds and other meds and I needed to get off as much as I could. I only take a half muscle relaxer, one melatonin, and 1/2 wellbutrin (soon to be off completely) and it is bedtime. I have been getting average 6-7 hours of restful sleep a night whereas before this I barely slept and nothing worked to help me sleep. I think I am on to something with the natural vitamins. It is the only thing that has helped my body. So I try my darndest not to take anything until bedtime and I exercise alot more now too. I started out doing ankle pumps and increased to leg lifts in bed, to exercise bike and now am walking much better. It takes a long time but have hope and you can do anything you want to. Let us know how you make out at the doctors.
