My mom's been dealing with a burning sensation for the past 7-8 months and the doctor thinks it's due to acidity but it hasnt gotten any better. Shes also on meds for diabetes, high blood pressure, and a 14 mm kidney stone. Heres what shes taking: Glycomet 250, Azulix, Clopivas, Rebagem, Panplus D 40, Nikoran 5, Stonex, Laregab AT LS, Olmat, and Nurokind. I'm worried because nothing seems to help with the burning. Could this mix of medications be causing it, or could it be something else? What should we do next?
