Does anyone else experience hot burning skin as symptom of Neuropathic

Posted by wmacgill11 @wmacgill11, Mar 18, 2025

The only symptom I have of neuropathic pain is a hot brewing sensation similar to a very bad sunburn. At this point in time, I don’t know what the cause is. I do have a pinched nerve in my back however, I’ve had that for a long time. The pain is quite bad.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

Omg thank you for this post! I’ve had this for twice and each time it lasted a week or so til it disappeared mostly. My whole body was sunburned and couldn’t even use a sheet to cover up with. The back of my thighs and butt was so bad that I went to hospital and was given a steroid which helped. My arms felt a little sunburned to. My butt was kinda numb too maybe from the inflammation idk but I’m just assuming. Nothing helped or relieved the pain but when it got too bad and went to hospital the steroid I was given helped slowly reducing pain and symptoms after couple days. I think I was given a week supply of pills. My doctor said it was from spinal stenosis but now I believe it’s from neuropathy as I have the same problem as you described. If the pain gets too bad go to a urgent care or hospital and ask to be given a steroid it should help

I have a pinched nerve at C7, the back of my hand and index finger were painful with that burning stinging pain. I don’t take any medication for the pain. Last Friday I had acupuncture treatment, today is Tuesday and I’ve only had occasional mild twinges since. I’m scheduled for another treatment in 2 weeks. It has definitely helped.

@shoshi7325 I am getting accupuncture for it. It does help.

For skeptics, I had migraines from abroken neck in the mid 80's. BAD that would basically floor me. These were 2-3times a month for yearsand I was convinced to try it. I went to a lady DR. that STUDIED it in CHINA and had three sessions and have NEVER had a migraine since.

Mu current thearpist is 1/2 chinese and also studied IN CHINA. Make sure you go to a accupunturist that STUDIED IT IN CHINA! I would be very skeptical of clinics that learned it elsewhere.
