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 feeling this strange warm sensation running down the outside of my left leg, and it's only started happening recently. It's kind of worrying me a bit. Do you think it could be something serious, or is it just one of those weird things that comes and goes? Any advice would be really appreciated.
The warm water sensation running down the outside of your left leg could be due to various reasons such as nerve irritation, sciatica, peripheral neuropathy, or even a harmless condition like meralgia paresthetica, which is caused by compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, and it's recommended to consult a neurophysician to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

I've been feeling really weird lately with this cold sensation inside the left side of my head. It's almost like there's cold liquid in there, and it's giving me a tingling feeling in my face. It's strange, right? I've also noticed that I get really sleepy when this happens, and sometimes I experience these intense hot flashes. Is there something I should be worried about? What could this possibly be?
You may be experiencing symptoms of a migraine headache. The cold feeling inside your head, tingling in your face, and hot flashes are common symptoms of migraines. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking Sumatriptan (brand name: Imitrex). Additionally, you can take Acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol) at a dosage of 500-1000mg for pain relief. Make sure to rest in a quiet, dark room and stay hydrated. If these symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
