I also have lots of burning,around the waist down both legs into the bottom of my feet,pretty much 24 hours a day.The only relief I get is from 150mg of lyrica 3 times a day and it only dulls the pain but I do get some relief.Hope this helps,do talk to your pain management doctor.

Are you losing sensation from it?

If so, you could have a syrinx or a tethered cord. New Mobility Magazine had a very well written, in depth aricle on the tethered cord and how difficult it is to locate as the culprite of ones problems (March, 09).

Hope you get it sorted.
