Hi Andrew, Welcome.

I had burning pain associated with peripheral neuropathy. Since I began taking 100 mg of R-lipoic acid (RLA)/day, the burning pain ceased, and only returns if I stop taking the RLA for a few days.

RLA has also been found effective for some people with burning mouth syndrome.

It might be worth a try; if it doesn't help within a few weeks, it probably won't.

If it can't hurt to try it, then it can't hurt to try it.

Doc
