I have definately had the burning sensations. It tends to happen alot on the back of my upper arms, mainly the left one, and also my hips.

Tracey,

Yes, that's one of the kinds of pain I get. It moves around and doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason.

Quite a few members have the burning pain.  I get it but it's not there all of the time.

I have it in both arms, from the shoulders down, a coat will feel like a ton, and dreadfully cold, it seems to be deep into the muscles, al the finger joints hurt, fingertips are numb, I can only say that you cant blame everything on fibro,, I sometimes wonder how many have died from Doctors telling htem that there symptoms are nothing but fibro,
I had a closing on my house last night, the gentleman that came was telling us he was in the Hospital from liver failure, and it took 9 days to even do a CT scan, which showed he had ciroshis of the liver,, and he doesnt drink alchol, turs out to be heredity involved

Oh I know. thats the weird things about it. ive heard of ppl being diagnosed with fibro and really having heart failure!

Ive had the burning before...just wanted to know if anyone else dealt with the annoyance! my upper body feels like its on fire, yet my toes feel so cold that I almost cant feel them( but not to the touch). how weird.

I have burning on the backs of my arms and upper back too. It comes and goes, not one of my most common complaints.

I have this as well. Its like a super-sensitivity to touch, for me, like I have a severe sunburn. I cannot stand to be touched when its active. Thats how I think of it--active and inactive. It always happens on the backs of my upper arms, my back, my thighs.

As far as I know, theres nothing you can do to make it go away. I even tried a sunburn gel once, just for kicks, but it did nothing. Though I didnt try the one with codeine in it... maybe next time.

I have burning in my legs most of the time.  My skin is ultra sensitive all over too.  I live in "softie" pants or sweats and very soft shirts...I cant take jeans or other harder clothes anymore.

Hi, I don't post much I lurk a lot :-) :-) Whenever someone posts about this I have to reply. I have had this pain on going for some time. It is amazingly painful I get it all over but most of the time it is in my legs. I don't suggest using any kind of burn or sunburn ointment with any of the "cooling" additives, it made mine burn worse. Of course it didn't help that I had to touch my skin to apply it. I have found nothing that helps it. When it gets really bad I make myself a bubble bath (not to hot not too cold) and soak. I find the softest pj's and put them on. Most of the time I cant even stand to have my chihuahuas tiny weight on my lap when its happening. Though I am teaching them to be gentle and avoid my legs as much as possible. The pain comes and goes if I get really cold it flares horribly. If you do find something that helps I would love to know what it is.

Ive only had the burning for about a week now...and I must say the only thing that has given me relief is soaking in a tub as well.

maybe if i take the neurontin I was prescribed for my headaches( which have disappeared) it will help...i dont know.
