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).

I've been having a cold and cough along with a mild fever in the evenings for a few days now. But whats really worrying me is this weakness in my legs and hands. There's no pain, just this weird weakness. It's making it hard for me to walk these past couple of days, and my hands are feeling kind of stiff. Plus, there's this tingling sensation in my hands and legs. Im not really sure what's going on or what I should do about it. Can you help me figure this out?

your symptoms could be related to a variety of conditions, ranging from a post-viral recovery phase to more serious nerve issues or an infection-related complication like Guillain-Barr Syndrome. It's important to see a doctor immediately for a thorough examination and appropriate tests. Please dont wait for the symptoms to get worse. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further complications.
