Hi and welcome to the site there are always plenty of people around to talk to and listen

I do get the these burning sensations in the same places .. Mine suddenly come on and can last for minutes or days. Last week I was sitting down suddenly the whole top of my left leg felt like it was on fire , no redness no swelling just so painful to touch I had to change clothes in the end . Two days later I woke up. Absolutely fine... There is loads of info at

fibroaction.org

Hope you enjoy being here

Hi

I was given a site to check out on one of my questions on pain concern and I was given this site to check out - arachnoiditis.co.uk/ - it was so mind blowing that I am still checking it out but when I see my GP I will bring this up.

Take care and kindest regards

Terry

hi gena,

its nice to meet some one who is just like me!!! i suffer really quite badly i can say and am on the same meds but on 500mg and it goes to 600mg and i can not go any higher at all.

i have cervical spinal root cord compression on my nerves and cannot have any surgery at all as 90% paralys or death i was told straight down the line as i have another condition i was born with too that makes all my ligaments and muscles weak and a connective tissue disorder which actually all could of been prevented had it been known many years before! :-(

so i am here to have any chat with you on here on pm me and i will gladly chat and compare notes with you as its so not nice at all i feel like i have a real fever and ill every day and nites are bad too .

The legs they seem to go through phases of not working at all or hardly working and then ease off and then am left with the after effects.

just management and waiting pain clinice again!! so big huggles to you and very welcome to talk xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx caroline xxxxxxxxxx

Hi, I also get the burning which is increasing. Started in my upper arm - now all four limbs and worse at night when I try to sleep. Wee small hours now. Sounds like another trip to gp. Have cervical problems too.

in reply tohelbell

hi there sorry could"nt reply had problems getting online just to say i do sympathise with you as i do find this particular symptom very distressing and i too get it worse when i am lying in bed so therefore do not sleep which in turn impacts on other symptoms all i can say is hang on in there you are not alone take care gene34
