I'm dealing with a burning sensation all over my body and it feels like nerve pain, with pins and needles, and sometimes it feels like a heat wave inside. I've also got nerve pain in my jaw. I've been told I might have Complex Regional Pain Syndrome by one doctor in NZ, and a neurologist mentioned Central Pain Syndrome. I'm really concerned and a bit confused about these diagnoses. Could you explain what they mean and how they differ? Also, what can I do to manage or reduce these symptoms?

Approximately 80% of patients with CRPS type I achieve complete, spontaneous relief of signs and symptoms within 18 months; however, no diagnostic criteria have been shown to predict which patients will fall into this category. Some of the patients whose symptoms do not resolve spontaneously may still be cured by treatment. Of the patients who develop refractory CRPS type I, 50-80% have disability secondary to pain andor a limited range of motion. The main disabilities are limitations in their activities of daily living (ADL).

View allI had IPCL eye surgery two months ago and ever since then, I get a one-sided headache whenever I'm exposed to outside air. Taking something like Sinarest gives me relief for half a day, but then the headache comes back. I mentioned this to my doctor at Vasan Eye Care Hospital, but nothing helped. It's really affecting my work and making me frustrated what could be causing this?
eye opinion is advised.

I'm experiencing some pretty severe pain on the left side of my neck, stretching from my shoulder up to below my ear. It's been going on for about a month and it's getting unbearable. What could be causing this, and what do you think I should do?
The persistent pain on the left side of your neck, near the shoulder and below the ear, lasting for a month, could be related to various factors, including muscle strain, cervical spondylosis, herniated disc, or referred pain from the shoulder or thoracic spine; consider consult an orthopedic specialist

I'm experiencing dizziness for the past 4 weeks. My ENT doctor prescribed STABLANZ PV and VERTIGON tablets, which help a lot when I take them. But when I stop, the dizziness and spinning in my head come right back. Does this sound like vertigo to you, or could it be something else? Also, any advice on how to get rid of this dizziness, or if there's anyone else I should consult?
