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

Posted by jimbourg8 @jimbourg8, Oct 25, 2011

Does anybody have similar symptoms like these. It is not exactly like a peripheral neuropathy but seems similar....It just started happening in June 2011. Almost constant feeling of burning pain when ever I am sitting or anything touching those hyper sensitive areas of my body. As soon as I get up and move, there is relief. As soon as I sit down or exert the slightest pressure on those areas, there is that burning , nagging , type of pain. I had received a diagnosis of Hypothyroidism during that time and have been taking the low thyroid medication for 3 months now...but no relief on this problem...........anybody out there with similar or same symptoms.....I'd be glad to find out and if they for a resolution. So far my Healthcare providers dont know yet......maybe I need to see a neurologist ?

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

I am just coming across this thread. I have really developed this intensely in the past two years. I have had nerve pain from recurring shingles in the past and I have pins and needles issues in my hands and feet that may or may not be related to my IgM MGUS. I thought I was starting to develop bed sores, this is getting hard to sleep through. Some nights I resort to lidocaine patches for relief. I do also have Raynaud’s.
