I'm thinking maybe this is not neuropathy? Maybe this is crps or rsd from the acupuncture? I don't know... Does what I describe sound anything like u guys have ? Or maybe it's crps? Because it's all over all at the same time. Everything makes it hurt more clothes, sitting, leaning on something, laying down wtc.

If it is, what do I do about it?

This is difficult... ask over at the RSD forum for advice is your best bet.

CRPS may give sweating, discolorations etc.

It takes a special doctor to recognize CRPS...

My primary doc thought that maybe I had CRPS back in 2007 when an injury I had didn't heal and she treated me with a SSRI. But no definitive diagnostics were ever performed and I still have that same wrist injury that won't heal. She thought I had it again when I had a hard onset of body wide symptoms in 2014. I was certain that I didn't have CRPS because the warm pool or hot tub sets off a delayed burning all over my body. I also had a bone scan, which was negative. So my issue is really the small fiber nerves in my skin that burn to varying degrees.

I've done a ton of research on RSD/CRPS over the years. There are lots of knowledgeable people on the RSD Neurotalk forum. CRPS usually follows an injury and one nerve chain. But sometimes that is not the case and people have experienced all types of presentations.
