Burning sensation on skin accompanied by false sweat sensation

Burning sensation on skin accompanied by false sweat sensation

I had a stroke in 1999.  I have devolped a sensation of hot, burning skin accompanied by the sensation of excessive sweaating.  Touching of the skin reveals that I am NOT sweating.  I take Neurontin 200 mg daily for spinal pain.   I had surgery to repair a collapsed disc and medicine for diabetes and heart condition.  Can you tell me reasons ofr the sensations described?

Hi,

Thanks for writing in.
Diabetes is one cause of burning skin due to the fact that it causes peripheral neuropathy. Nerve compression can also cause a hot burning skin. Did the pain start after surgery?
Also is your diabetes under control?

I have experienced internal tremors and burning skin for the last three years.  It started two years ago and the internal tremor went away for 2 years and just recently reappeared.  The burning skin started 2.5 years ago with a really bad episode.  It went away and then comes back from time to time in milder (annoying) episodes.  Does anyone know if Parkinson's Disease can start in the manner, but then fade away completely for a couple years to rears its head again?
I have gone through a lot of neurological testing with nothing found to be wrong. The doctors feel it is anxiety, but I do not believe that.  
Thanks
