Burning sensation even after carpal tunnel surgery

[AnneSwift]

I had the painful burning sensation in my left hand, I believe after an ant bite. It was excruciating! No bite was found but the pain became unbearable and I was eventually diagnosed with carpal tunnel in both hands. After the first treatment with shots the pain spread to my right arm and some days I became incapacitated: skin felt scalded though cold to touch (sometimes fingers were blue) and stabbing pain like nails piercing. After a year of pill treatments, I went to another doctor as it interfered with my work. Further testing showed carpal tunnel again and I had ulnar nerve surgery and carpal tunnel in right arm and carpal tunnel on left hand. The pain has subsided greatly but my left hand still has the sensation of burning without the heat. My right arm still has the stabbing pain which makes me yelp because it strikes suddenly.  Will it ever feel better? Should I look into another therapy? (No, I am not diabetic, I've been tested)

Thank you for your response.  I will look into acupuncture and I'm not sure what biofeedback is...Right now, I am still on gabapentin1600mg daily but it just doesn't stop all the pain. A friend mentioned B12 shots but I am looking into pills to help with my nerves.  I am still deciding my next step.

Again thanks for the response!

Aside from prescription medications, other neuropathy treatments such as acupuncture or biofeedback therapy may also help.
