Hello, Kanenky! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about what you've been through, but so glad you survived.

Have you tried any of the non-narcotic medications that can specifically help with nerve pain, such as Neurontin? The burning pins and needles sensation that you describe is usually due to nerve damage.

The FDA classifies Neurontin as an anticonvulsant that is also approved to treat certain types of nerve pain and some mood disorders. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, mood swings and weight gain.

It's something you could discuss with your doctor.
