Does anyone have total body burning pain?. I have had painful burning feet for about 5 years now but things got worse starting in February after a hospitization for cardiac Cath. I now have burning pain all over. Been diagnosed with small fiber fiber neuropathy thru punch biopsy. Taking generic Lyrica that helps some but still suffering. Each day and night is a battle against the affiction.

Hello,
I am on connect for breast cancer, but I saw your post.
I had this burning body sensation 5 years ago. Mostly my torso, I was tested for lymes disease and it came back positive.
I went on doxycycline prescribed for lymes and never had the issue again.
Lymes is a simple test.
Hope you are well.

Not much longer after receiving the covid vaccine, I developed SFN; all of my skin burned. I took pregabalin, which helped with the pain, but gave me drowsiness and fatigue issues. A few weeks ago I contracted covid (not fun), which cured my SFN. Not completely, but enough that I no longer need meds.
SFN was difficult to deal with. I have a demanding career so not being able to sleep was a problem. The cumulative pain was starting to weigh me down. I had SFN for 8 months.

Hello @oatmeal. I found another discussion where members have shared about their all-over body pain like you have described here and other posts. Because of that, you will notice I have moved your post here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/burning-sensations-acid-like-pinpoint-pains-all-over/

Are you looking to learn pain management options from other members?

Hi oatmeal, I have had burning arms/shoulders on and off, with mostly off for the past 4 1/2 years. In February after having Covid in January the sole of my right foot has become a burned sensatioin like I have been walking on a hot road barefoot. First 2 toes numb, it has gradually gone up my leg into groin area. The burning has extended intothe palms of my hands and has made numbess and tingling to the fingers. I had a SFN test 2 weeks ago awaiting results. Im being looked at for MS for a second opinion. My MRI shows 2 areas of demyelination but small 1 and 2 mm. Spinal tap neg. It has become very painful. Neuropathic meds like Lyrica or Neurontin make me feel really low. I feel so alone in this. I hope things get better for you.
