Burns and neuropathy

Soooo... I am the big dummy who managed to bump my leg against the hot pipes on the motorcycle. I have a burn in an almost perfect 2 inch radius circle on my leg. It's all nice and ugly and blistered.

My issue is the burn doesn't hurt. I can touch it and have no pain. But the pains shooting up and down my leg are nauseatingly painful. To the point that I would gladly take a shot of morphine knowing I would throw up all night.

Is this normal symptoms with nerve damage in that leg?

Sarah, I am not sure about the burning pain in the leg. My thoughts are possibly the little surface nerves are irritated by the burn. We have lots of surface type nerves all over. I do remember real well as a kid burning my leg on my brothers motorcycle. Only took me once to remember always wear jeans when riding, lol. Do you ride as a passenger or driver? The only one I ever rode was my dirt bike, lol. When I was younger we were into dirt bikes & rode a lot, I loved it. My son & I would ride on weekends even if his dad was working. My husband has always had street bikes.

If you can avoid it, try not to burst the blister. Here is a little old wives tale about blisters that i will pass along that works for me. My mother taught us to never pop a blister until after the sun goes down & it will not get sore afterwards, lol. True story, to this day I wait until the sun goes down, lol.

Take care.
