Burning sensation/pins and needles in leg - Nerve damage?

Edit Post

Quote from: AimHigh on January 26, 2022, 07:10:54 AMI had dead/tingling/itchy patches on Tib frontalis on both legs still 2 years still after femur CLL, i tried Pregabalin to no avail. At the ~ 4 year mark i now have naturally improved almost 100% - although have been taking MK677 10mg for 5 months, maybe this has helped.

Was it the surgeon that prescribed MK677 or another follow up doctor? I've been "researching"  when I ask them about the surgery and recovery, as well as when I asked my usual family doctor and 2 orthopaedic doctors in consultation and despite the benefits, they all seem very hesitant to prescribe it, they have allmost a medical prejudice against.

It’s hard to notice that it’s improving but sometimes when I feel something on my shin I’ll realize that I have more sensation there. I’m not sure if the patch of numbness is smaller; maybe it is? I don’t think that nail removal will help, but so far it seems like the numbness issues are still continuing to improve for me.
