Do you have an appt to see your doctor?.... Gentle hug.... I hope that you have some answers and helps soon..... xo

I have neuropathy from kidney damage, Marah, as Lunarevent mentions here, and that fire beneath the skin symptom you describe is the main symptom I have often. Make sure to mention that symptom to your doctor at your next appointment, ok?

Mara, could be nerve pain. I shattered my lower spine in a head on as a passenger. I’ve never recovered from the nerve pain. Some days are better than others. Tell your doctors about the pain and how it affects your life. I take meds to help the nerve pain, but sometimes when I am stressed it makes it worse. I find that exercise, while it does not take all the pain away, keeps me limber enough and helps relieve some of the stiffness. I also find weighted blankets helpful, but during hot weather there too bulky. I hope you find some relief.
