Burning sensations on skin pressure points, i.e. elbows, hands, feet

Hi, @pecan111 - What did you figure out was causing the burning sensations you were experiencing? You mentioned you don't think that you have lupus as diagnosed. What is making you think it's something other than lupus?

I've got burning sensation in upper back and back of the thighs.The worst thing for me is that I cannot sit on the office chair . My neuro said that its not neurological but suggested amitriptyline, has anybody tried it?

@polzovatel
I would recommend that you be examined by a good Physical Therapist/Sacro-Illiac specialist who likely can identify what is nerve- related and what is muscle-related, and who can alleviate your pain. You will need a referral from a doctor, however.

Just wanted to let you all know that this discussion, "Burning sensations on skin pressure points, i.e. elbows, forearms, hands buttocks, feet" has now been moved to the Mayo Clinic Connect Just Want to Talk group.

Sometimes we can't relay everything on the doctors, because medical technology is the least advanced technology than all other modern technologies, currently man able to travel to the moon/space and able to talk to face to face with each other between New York and London even between space station, but still did not discover the human body and its micro functioning process. we all understand when we eat very spicy food, we end up suffering later in the bathroom, but we do not have any other significant feelings about how the spicy food interact with entire body, such as how the spicy food impact in the internal organs, joint, skin etc. that means the spicy food do not have interaction other parts of human body than anus does. Anyway this is my story, 5 years ago one of my friends told me an onion-red wine recipe, and drink a shot daily, I’ve drink a while and feel the significant positive improve my energy level, sex drive etc. then I thought the ingredients of the recipe are onion and red wine, why I have to limit myself with a shot daily and decided serve myself with regular wine glass daily, guess what, I’m starting to have burning sensation on skin on my left elbow and getting worse day by day, of course I’m not that smart enough to relate the increased daily dose of my red wine recipe, burning sensation getting worse and worse, pain to touch and looks like red as red a monkeys butt, seen by all kind of specialist like neurologist, fiber-logiest , dermatologist and related test and examination was thyroid, iron level, and may other special exams that I’ve forgot the name, but spend a lot time and money with zero improvement. One day I happened to out of town for a week, of course I didn’t get a chance keep up my red wine recipe, and my elbow burning sensation problem getting better and better and completely gone by the time when I get back home, then I have to wait another week to have my red wine recipe ready, a week later my recipe ready and starting with regular wine glass and my elbow burning sensation problem started again, stop drink one day problem stopped right away, and felt like the red wine recipe like a on off switch for my elbow burning sensation problem, then I stopped the recipe for good, elbow burning sensation problem gone for good for last five years. Recently I got a case of very good Cabernet Sauvignon, and started to drink glass daily, by my surprise my elbow burning sensation problem came back less than a week after I drink a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon daily, this time came back to my right elbow, I did not expect this because this is not a onion red wine recipe just a red wine, again I stopped daily red wine, the burning problem gone as well . Other than that if I drink a beer, my joint starting to pain right away, just like on off switch. I only drink bourbon on the rocks and never have any problem; conclusion is do not being an experimental rat for no clue doctors with spending your own money and time. The point I’m trying to make is every human body is different, the food we eat/drink lifestyles and living/working conditions have a different reaction for every individual in different period of time, so we have to learn the nature of our own body, and keep track of any changes of eating/drinking, lifestyles and living/ working situation and how they impacted our health situation and to be able to adjust and regulate them for optimal health, good luck and live well.

I am very happy to report that I have got significantly better with acupuncture. I have to say that my acupuncturist is very experienced and trained in China and that I had tried other acupuncturists in the past who had not helped at all. I have been seeing her fro 3 months and have gone from having to sit on ice packs all day every day to using them in the late afternoon/evening only. I am hoping that in time this issue will disappear completely.

My symptoms are very similar to yours: burning in my left buttock when sitting and burning/tingling sensation at pressure points - mostly on the left side. This started in 2021 with numbness in my left jaw a day or 2 after getting a vaccine. I am not and anti-vaccination. It progressed to the burning sensation. The neurologist in the hospital did not see any irregularities in my brain scan. I've had Hashimoto's Thyroiditis for 25 years and my endocrinologist says that the symptoms are not thyroid related. I believe that the burning in my buttock may be unrelated to the other issues because when I was giving a steroid the burning in my buttock stopped within a few days. and started up again when I resumed my hip stretches. I could feel my butt muscle moving over my ischium (bottom hip bone). My PCP says that this is normal, but I am questioning that! I iced my left buttock, sat on large bubble wrap and used and TENS and after a couple of months, the pain went away. I tried the hip extension again and the pain returned. I believe that is Weaver's Bottom and is unrelated to the other burning/tingling. Even though the buttock and joint burning/tingling occurred simultaneously, to me, they seemed to be unrelated. If you haven't tried a TENS unit, I strongly urge you to give it a try. When I wear it, I can sit comfortably.

I don't know if the Gabapentin that a second neurologist gave me helped with the burning/tingling in my pressure points or they went away on their own, because they went away about a month after I was hospitalized (I wasn't taking Gabapentin at that time). It seems that sunlight/UV exposure may bring this on. So, I don't know if the vaccine was the cause or it's just a coincidence. I still get the burning in my left jaw regardless on sun exposure.

I know that your post it from 2016, and I do hope that you have found some relief. But, I wanted to suggest the TENS unit just in case no one had mentioned it to you.

I know exactly what you mean. I have had this for several years. It's called allodynia. Nerve damage
