Hi Fairytails,I know what you mean by this.Mine is there constantly when I`m moving around I describe it as severe sunburn sensation right at the top of my spine.

Iv`e been in agony for days now between my shoulders as well,to the point I cant lay down so hence no sleep.

I have just started the drug gabapentin and I was told this would be good for nerve pain which is what the sensation at the top of spine is.

I also understand when you say clothes hurt,I can`t even rub there as it hurts so much.

I wish you well hun Hugs xxxx

ah thankyou for answering butterfly i have been in the same pain in my neck gets unberable by the end of the day too , im not on any drugs at the moment as im waiting for my results to come back my rheumotologist said it could be either psoratic arthritis or fibro thats wrong with me , cant wait really for the results so as i can deal with it properly if you know what i mean! hope your pain gets a little easier hugs back xxx

Hi fairytails,

I am on gabapentin too, I have been on it for about a year, i think lol.

It is an absolute godsend, it helps so much with the burning stinging pains.

My whole arms felt like they were burning, i just wanted to chop them off as i thought this would of been less painful.

I used to get like bee sting feelings all over my body constantly and all that has stopped now (fingers crossed).

It worth looking into them with your gp.

[jazher in reply to fairytails]

When i have my bad days i do take it out on my other half. I am seeing my gp next monday because of it, as i think i might need antidepressants as i am getting more angry and frustrated with myself but more importantly him.

My head feels to heavy too, i sit having to hold it up with my arm all the time because its really uncomfortable, then my arm and hand starts with pins and needles. i cant win lol.

Let us know how you get on.

Hope you find some relief soon.

I have this feeling about 3 inches higher than my bra fastening on my back. Call it my hot spot but it is exactly as you describe. Had this since a car accident in 1989.
