This is a new symptom. However, I'm wondering if it could be MS related or something else. 🤔

The last few days at different times of the day I've been experiencing an inward burning sensation in the top portion of my left arm. Trying to be more specific, around the muscle area. If that makes sense.
The only way I can explain it feels like fire on the inside of my arm.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Members responded with great empathy to a question about a burning sensation in the arm, with many sharing that they experience similar feelings in their arms, legs, feet, and other areas, and most believing it to be MS-related. Several members offered practical relief strategies including gabapentin, Biofreeze, Voltaren gel, menthol creams, ice packs, and acupuncture, while one member credited following an anti-inflammatory diet with greatly reducing their symptoms. A recurring theme was the importance of reporting new or changing symptoms to a neurologist, as some burning sensations may also be linked to conditions like cervical stenosis or paresthesia.

Yes and I also have lumps under my skin that move back and forth,the neurologist and rheumatologist say that it is stress knots and shifting cyst, they also said that burning sensation can tell if some lesions are moving on the nerves ! Talk to your neuro and rheumatologist about any and all new or changing symptoms!
