I have marfan syndrome, and lately I've been having this feeling of burning in my legs. Just wondering if anyone else has it and what do you think I can do for it. I do have lower back pain also but it's not something I can't deal with, the burning in my legs is more painful then my back. I'm also getting numbness in my arms. Anyone have the samething please let me know how you deal with it or what to do.
thanks

Hi Dee I had this last year by the sounds of it. Is it like having sunburn? if it is then it sounds like you have a nerve thats been pinched and your body is warning you that if it doesnt get blood to that part of your body you are going to suffer. I was prescribed a low dose of anti depressant as this is alledged to be good for pain relief especially from nerve pain. It worked after week. Maybe this could help you, also if you could get your spine gently manipulated into place that should also help. I would suggest you see an othopedic for the manipulation.
