Hi, my husband has had this before. It happens to him in and out of water and yes, he sometimes describes it like an icy hot feeling. Sometimes he will have it burn badly, painfully...then it will stop...then do the "icy hot", tingly feelings....then repeat again. It's weird, but I know what you're talking about!

I have the same thing its actuly right now my left foot and up my left leg and in other places id rather not burn... really annoying. feels like i rubbed bengay all over

I have this sometimes when the water hits a certain spot on my back just over my right shoulder. My neuro says the pain I get in that spot is caused by a lesion in my cervical spine.

Gentle hugs, Linda

I'm not sure if wat I feel is the same thing..well anyway wat I believe part of it to b is hypersensitivity of the skin.. the feeling n sensation in the skin is 10x more than the average..so warm water feels burning hott n cold water freezing..etc my right hand is partially numb and super sensitive..if I don't pay attention when I'm washing dishes the water temp my hand feels like it burning off..when my hand is just a bit cold feels like my hand is in deep ice water it hurts so bad..so idk if its similar but I know it very well sux!

Oh wow you describe the feeling I was talking about a few weeks ago on my feet except I wasn't in the shower or anything it just happened. When I got in the shower it just felt like I had icy hot on my feet that would not wash off. This is so crazy. I couldn't do anything to get that feeling to go away it had to leave on its own. UGH MS!

Hi Jennilee,
I have it too! I get it in both my hands and feet in the shower, and just my feet in bed at night. I understand your saying it's hard to describe. I tried to describe it to my husband and he was looking at my like I had two heads or something, like I'd lost my mind. I'm with you sister!

My feet seem to do this lately when I'm in the shower. This hot feeling runs up to my ankles. My feet will actually appear red and feel a bit warm. It wears off after awhile, but it is a strange feeling.

I do this too. My hands go numb, feel like they are burning, or sometimes it feels like thousands of needles are poking me. It is really hard to describe all the different sensations that MS can cause.

I went to bed last night after 3 am b/c my right hand was burning so much. It was burning so badly that I could barely move it. It started to feel as though my fingertips were match sticks. Is there anything available to ease the burning sensation?

Someone gave me a tip that if you rub ban roll on deodorant on your hands or feet when they are burning it cools it down. I haven't tried it yet myself but this person swears by it.

Partially this is a numbness to that part of the body. Like said in an earlier reply it is over sensitized. Like a bad sunburn without the redness....it is the nerve endings that are close to the surface of the skin. I havent found much that helps it, but it gets annoying and painful but have learned to expect it.

My fingers get it alot when my hands get really cold...feels like they are frostbit. but the burning you describe I get alot in my feet and my face....but Im almost positive it is numbness or in my face it happens before the TN hits or a migraine. Its like my warning signs that something more is about to happen. LOL

Good luck to you with this
PS if anyone tries the roll on Ban....let me know how that works, I just have deodorant sticks but will get some to keep on hand if it helps.

HUGS

The "burning" sensation is called neuropathic pain (alka:nerve pain).
