I am a paraplegic due to fractured Dv11-12 and damage to cord.

Whatever has happened i do not mind but now I develop very severe burning sensation on my bums and legs which makes me very very uncomfortable to sit on a wheelchair and even to sleep on back

I'm sorry for what you've had to undergo. I broke my back (L1, L3 & L4) several years ago in an auto accident. As a result, I had burning sensations in my lower back & leg. I know it's not a natural or alternative therapy, but my Doctor prescribed a medicine called Elavil or amytriptoline that blocks out that burning sensation. I was on that for several years & then switched over to another medicine called Neurontin which also blocks nerve damage pain. Good luck.
