I have this issue with my feet. My neuro believes it's neuropathy. This means that there is nothing wrong with my feet, like a broken toe or athletes foot, but rather the nerves in my feet sending incorrect pain signals.
I am on day 4 of 3600mg/day of Gabapentin (Neurontin) to try and relieve the discomfort. It's a little better but it may be time to try a different approach, like Lyrica. There are a variety of drugs to address neuropathic pain. Individuals respond differently to them. Gabapentin might work for you but do nothing for me. Lyrica may work for me but do nothing for you, etc.

I dont have it in my hand, but last Friday out of the blue I got a burning sensation and then serious pain in my baby toe that wont go away! It hurts SO bad! Same thing as you just in a different extremity! Driving me crazy!
I get this down my R index finger, just the burning sensation, started about a week ago, if anyone else has this, definitely the two of us want to know!
I cant write for very long or even grate cheese when cooking i have little strength in my hand
