I have constant skin burning sensation on my upper legs, face, hands and abdomen. It feels like a sunburn. Just wondering if this is unique to me?

@2tnt, I moved your question to this existing discussion:

I did this so you can read the previous posts and connect easily with other members. What do you do to relieve the burning sensation?

I have that same sensation like a mild sunburn on arms and hands. I don’t seem to get any answers from any of my doctors.

I have those sensations in my fingers or in my whole hands, my shoulders, and my legs. Mine is caused by pinched nerves. The felling does not come on gradually, it hits me like a freight train.

At that time, I have to breath slowly through the pain and move my body and joints to try to relieve the pressure on the nerve. My specialists ordered xrays, CTs & MRIs soon after I notified them of my new symptoms.

My doctors have an electronic communication system that allows me to communicate my concerns, rather than waiting for my next appointment. This helps quite a bit, since I do not have to try to remember how the pain felt and what areas did the pain move through. When I am not having the pain, I do not focus my energy (since it is low) on past pain.
