I do have Burning on the skin sometimes it feels like the sun , don't know what causes that or how to help it it comes and goes. My neck is always soar sometimes like a knot,I hope you feel better have a pain-free day.

For me the burning on my skin is small fiber neuropathy. You can have a biopsy done to diagnose it. I agree it is very painful. I have it on my arms and legs, and feet and hands. There are other sensations common to this that are shown in fibro called paraesthesias.

My skin burns all over, and most of the time, but worse wherever gets most pressure or rubbing from clothes like my hips, rear, and hamstrings which makes it painful to sit or lay down. I had been calling it neuropathy, but all over...although it is more painful than the neuropathy in my hands and feet...which are more numb now thank goodness! I've not found a dr who doesn't blow me off or tell me it's impossible to have pain all over. Someone on the Phoenix Rising CFS site suggested it was allodynia..looked it up and the description fit. Another dr called it parathesia...or what Twin mom said above, but when looking up that description, it didn't fit me as well. Am hoping to find a doc who will know about allodynia and perhaps have idea for pain relief. I've had it terribly today..so much that I feel I must have a fever, and my face is burning like a fever. Usually Bio Freeze helps enough if I wait till I'm ready to go to bed so I can sleep but today I've taken extra Gabapentin, Aleve, ibuprophen, and the Freeze and no better all day. If I take Valium. It tends to calm the nerve pain but I worry about overdoing the Valium since I use it for so many things. I've heard people use lidocaine cream or patches but that didn't seem to help me more than the Freeze. Good luck.

Hi Starsister! This is the most misunderstood pain we have. You feel as if you have fallen asleep on the beach
It truly hurts like a sunburn. And yes doc, it is all over! It is just awful when you wake up have plans and have no idea if you will be able to keep those plans. My family is fed up with me.

I have the worst sunburn of all time pain all the time. It's better with lyrica (like i don't have to be naked or wear shorts and a tank top all the time), but if i get sick or have an infection it gets worse for some reason. Mine is all over the tops of my arms, tops of my legs, and across my shoulders, sometimes across my chest, too. I thought that this was a normal symptom of fibro?
