I don't have exactly the same symptoms, but I thought I would reply to your post anyway. Sometimes it feels like my hands are on fire, I don't have "No color change. No swelling. No excessive sweating. No excessive nail growth or hair growth." Either. Neurologists never brought up cprs. One thing that really changed my perception of pain and especially the book "the mindbody prescription", with that I got some tools to control my stress levels which really affect the burning. Not that I think my pain is simply imagenary, but some pain is controlled by your state of mind. Wish you the best of luck, and happy holidays. P.s I have really appreciated your enormous research regarding surgery outcomes, been following your posts for a while and I just wanted to thank you. I think there's a lot like me, who read the posts but don't reply due to pain or whatever. Rest assured that we appreciate all posts.

Nervous transmission pathways.
 
I don't get these hypesthesias that you are describing, but I wanted to add that there is a separate nervous pathway that transmits light touch from deep touch. That can account for only some sensory stimuli disturbances.

The nerve / skin hypersensitivity can be caused by nerve irritation and damage as well. I got trigeminal nerve injury in 2008 (face nerve) and it caused burning and hypersensitivity of my jaw, chin and mouth. It took about 1.5 years before the nerve fully healed / the sensation diminished. Currently I have some arm hypersensitivity caused by TOS (nerve irritation and injury).

Allodynia ??? Check it out it may apply to you. And CRPS is different for every sufferer. I have both the burning and sensitivity to touch, fabrics even the ceiling fans as well as deep throbbing pain. Neurontin is a god send for me!! Good luck :hug:

yeah i think i have this. damage and irritation from stretching. i was doing some very aggravating things for a AWHILE and i was low on magnesium. ive never had sweaty swelling (not like what i've seen pictured) or redness (very very mild raynauds..). it's just burning and itching and pins and needles. kind of raw feeling. but i dont mind people touching it. when my nerves are really ****** off it feels like a fireworks show going on. i can feel the nerves(?) firing off around my scalene and then in my elbow. soemtimes down to my wrist. it's not that PAINFUL but it is just very very weird feeling

i really think anything with the word SYNDROME on it you have to just investigate for yourself. its a crutch

Sometimes its just an overactive central nervous system as well, and by relieving the tos it can get better

crap. i was doing some shoulder strengthening (against a bar) and i talked on the phone for a LONG time with my elbow really bent, causing my pecs to burn. one of these activities made my sellate ganglions start hurting on my tos side. i had no idea what this was. maybe i should ice it?

actually i think this is more of my scm being too tight. its jsut weird to me its only on one side
