Are you experiencing burning sensations in your legs?
Burning or tingling in the legs and feet is a common symptom of amyloidosis. This sensation is typically caused by amyloid neuropathy, which happens when abnormal amyloid proteins build up on or near your nerves, affecting how they function.
Many people describe feeling:
* A pins-and-needles sensation
* Constant tingling and throbbing
* Burning sensations that may worsen at night

This type of discomfort usually occurs when small fiber nerves are affected by protein deposits. These nerves lack the protective covering that other nerves have, making them more vulnerable to being affected early in your amyloidosis journey.
If you're experiencing burning in your legs, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider. They can help determine the best way to manage this symptom and improve your comfort.
