Sunburn Sensation & Hypersensitivity

Hello,

For the past few months I have had a sensation of sunburn all over my back.

There is no apparent redness, rash or indication of any skin condition. Because if this the skin on my back is hypersensitive and feels so hot that leaning against the car seat or sitting in a chair is extremely uncomfortable. Clothing anywhere, even an underwear band is uncomfortable. The intense heat sensation is only on the back (upper and lower) and not apparent anywhere else on my chest or limbs. I have recently been diagnosed with Raynaud's phenomenon (feet only).

I would be very grateful for any advice or reassurance.

Hi,
I get that too.It feels like a sunburn from the indside out.I get it on my neck,shoulders,back and face.It is definatly neurological in origin. I too have Raynauds but it mostly affects my handsI also have Allodynia .Pain from stimuli which are not normally painful. The pain may occur other than in the area stimulated.
You need to see a Neurologists and a Rheumatologists asap.
Take Care, Theresa

Thank you for your question. Although without being able to examine you I can not offer you the specific advice on diagnosis and treatment that you need, but I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern.

Burning or heating sensation, numbness or tingling sensation in any part of body is considered nerve related in origin. Burning sensation you are having can occur due to impingement, irritation or compression of nerve of back. I would advise a neurologist consultation in this regard who would like to order MRI scan of spine, blood sugar levels, and clinically examine you. Hope this information proves helpful to you. Take care.

Did you ever get a diagnosis? I have the same symptoms as you: burning sensation all over body with no temperature; skin is so sensitive to touch, even a pirec of cloth passing over my leg will set off the pain; skin feels tight. Numbness tiongling, too. I also have GERD and other symptoms. Do you have shortness of breath?

I have this exact same thing, its getting worse and worse and is starting to effect my sleep. Did yours ever go away or is it permanant?

I have no other health issues.

my roommate has also started complaining of a sunburn sensation and what she calls "prickles" for lack of better term. she has spondolothesis and complicated migrains. could this be a cause as well? also borderline diabetic. any orthopedic neurologists out there have an answer? the sensitivity seems to last about 2 hrs before going away.
