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'm experiencing this sudden warm sensation in my foot that lasts for about 45 seconds, and it's been happening for the past four days. Should I get a test to figure out what's going on? A year ago, my B12 levels dropped, which caused twitching, tingling, and some pain in my feet. I'm also dealing with Palmoplantar psoriasis. Could these be connected, or is it something else entirely?

I'm really concerned because for the past 15 days, I've been experiencing this muscle twitching in my upper arm near the shoulder. It happens quite frequently, and I've also noticed similar twitching in my left chest and the middle lower chest area. The twitching in my arm seems to be the most constant. Should I be worried about this?
Possible Causes* 1. *Muscle fatigue*: Overuse or strain of the muscles in your upper arm and chest. 2. *Nutritional deficiencies*: Low levels of electrolytes (potassium, magnesium, calcium), vitamins (B12, D), or minerals. 3. *Nerve stimulation*: Irritation of the nerves supplying the muscles in your arm and chest. 4. *Anxiety or stress*: Tension and stress can cause muscle twitching. *When to Worry* 1. *Persistent twitching*: If twitching continues for an extended period. 2. *Weakness or pain*: If you experience muscle weakness, pain, or numbness. 3. *Other symptoms*: If you have difficulty breathing, swallowing, or speaking. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a neurologist. 2. *Get a physical examination*: To rule out underlying conditions. 3. *Blood tests*: To check for nutritional deficiencies or other underlying conditions. 4. *EMG (Electromyography)*: To evaluate muscle and nerve function. In the meantime: 1. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water and electrolyte-rich fluids. 2. *Manage stress*: Engage in relaxation techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing. 3. *Avoid caffeine and nicotine*: Both can exacerbate muscle twitching.
