top of hand feels like I poured hot grease on it. what is going on

[mamiaelectro]

My hands started out hurting really bad for about 3 weeks, very achy, went up in my arms as well, 4 days ago my whole body started aching so bad, and I'm really tired. Then 3 days ago I get this burning feeling like I've burnt the top of my hands, and last night it felt like it on the top of my foot until I walked around.  It comes for a few hours then leaves for a few  and back again. I don't have the pain nothing like it was though, just a little though just the burning.

Do you have any idea what is going on with me.   Please help!

Hello,
It can be due to contact dermatitis, viral infections, diabetes, hypothyroidism, and hypoparathyroidism. They can also be due to peripheral vascular disease, vitamin B12 deficiency or malnutrition.

Get your blood sugar and thyroid hormones levels evaluated. You can take some vit B12 for some days and see if the symptoms are gone or not. In case the symptoms persist then please consult a dermatologist/ physician.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

I'm not sure, but I would definitely go to the doctor. Sounds like something they are going to need to check out. good luck
