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've been dealing with hypertension and have been taking Olmzest 20 every day. Recently, I've been experiencing this persistent neck and shoulder pain, so I went to see a neurologist who prescribed Trigabantin 300 and Etoshine 120. I've been a computer operator for the past 15 years, which probably adds to the stress. I've already started Trigabantin 300 and it's been two days now. But I'm a little hesitant about starting Etoshine because I read about its potential side effects. Could you give me some advice on whether it's safe to take both medications and if the benefits outweigh the risks? I'm just looking for a second opinion to ease my mind.

Ive been experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like my head and body are moving even when Im lying down. Sometimes I feel out of balance when Im walking, too. What could be causing this? It's starting to worry me a bit.
You may be experiencing a condition known as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) or a vestibular balance disorder, characterized by sensations of movement, spinning, or loss of balance, especially when lying down or changing positions; other possible causes include inner ear problems, migraines, or anxiety, so consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

I'm having this heaviness in my head that's been going on for about 15 days now, and there's a bit of pain on the left side of my neck too. On top of that, I've been dealing with a cold. I'm really worried about the heaviness in my head. Could it be something serious?
That could be Sinusitis,no need to worry, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.
