I know a diagnosis isn't everything, but at this point it would be nice to know. I don't fit PN because it is burning pain all over--especially chest, arms, under arms, backs of legs & calf.
thanks for your time and wisdom
This is a form of PN... when diabetes affects the dorsal roots along the spine, the sensory symptoms can be like yours, global.

Have you tried taking lipoic acid? This sometimes helps with diabetic neuropathic pain.
