Burning sensations, acid-like pinpoint pains, all over

Posted by adriggs @adriggs, Nov 29, 2020

I experience flashing pains all over my body--scalp, back, arms, legs. The pains feel like acid-burns manifesting in flashes at very pinpointed areas for just brief moments at a time. They can feel wet. Additionally, I had for several months chest pains that began similar to heart attack symptoms but were diagnoses as costochondritis due to tenderness to the touch at the appropriate location on chest. Subsequently, the tenderness to the touch aspect was no longer there but the burning and warmth and sensation of wetness would come and go. This has never been diagnosed. Chest x-rays and CT scan normal.

Does anyone experience burning pain all over? I have had burning feet since 5 year but after hospitalization and a heart Cath. performed this past February 2022 I now have burning all over my body. Small fiber neuropathy diagnosed with skin biopsy. I am not diabetic or drink alcohol or have any other precipitating factors. This is a horrible burning pain to have to try and live with. I have been tested for every cause but have no answers as of yet. I feel like I am on fire and often have to get in a bathtub with ice water before bed to get rest. Taking generic Lyrica that helps some but the pain is brutal.

I had my first experience of this yesterday while in the shower. I noticed it in my fingers and thumbs. On these areas of my hands it felt like the water was way too hot! But the water was merely lukewarm. The burning persisted as I left to go to a class. The steering wheel was warm , but felt too hot to touch, so I needed to use the lower part of my palms to steer. By the end of my class the burning sensation was gone. This was the first time I've ever experienced anything like that. It felt like my fingers and thumbs were sitting in water that was way too hot, but there was nothing I could do to make the burning feeling go away. I have no idea what set it off.
