Does it burn the whole way down? Can you describe where in your arm it burns? I have pain that starts in the back of the shoulder/armpit area and goes down the underside of my arm. It stops before my elbow. I also have pain that starts from the same point and goes down along my side/chestwall area.

Didn't you have abnormal nerve conduction study tests? Which nerves are affected?

My arms and my entire diaphragm area (front and back) use to burn 24/7. There was no specific spot on the arms, but it seemed to be from the bicep to my wrists in general.

After lots of myofascial release, 95% of the burning is gone. I get a few spots of burning now and then, but it's from overuse. The burning now will be near my elbows and mid thoracic.

To me, in retrospect, it felt like the peripheral nerve fibers were being irritated by the tight fascia. It kind of grew like a forest fire on a windy day.

Hi Anne,

There are several types of myofascial release techniques, ART, Graston, trigger point, melt method, foam rollers, general massage, ect. Some have more scientific support than others. What myofascial release techniques worked for you??

Manual myofascial therapy from a PT, using only hands. I also supplement myofascial therapy with melt and foam rollers, Cardio, some Edgelow and other do-dads and knick-knacks .

I think joint mobilization is key as well. I've recently had some joint mobilization work done by Ando in So Cal and when I can't see him, I will find a CFMT in the Bay Area to supplement.

The pain of childbirth I can forget, but the pain of a burning body - never.

Hi guys-

My arm burns on the outside of the arm, basically above and below the elbow. It burns so much the skin gets sensitive too.

Does it change colors or get blotchy?
Is it very sensitive to touch or cold breezes?
If so it might be RSD/CRPS..or something like that.

No to the first two but it does get sensitive to the touch. I have takes to a couple other people now who have said that they have had similar burning but location of mine seems slightly different. I think when you are dealing with nerves, everyone is different.

It could be the ulnar nerve is irritated from tos or compressed at elbow (cubital tunnel)
The ulnar n starts above the elbow. This is where I get a deep ache pain extremely enjoying! I also get extremely sore n sometimes burning on inside of my elbow going halfway down my forearm. A pt told me this is where tendon attaches n I have tendonitis.
I think if ur nerves are comp for long time u can get weak muscles n hence tendonitis.
Jomar might be able to answer this one!

Are u the one who's having scalenectomy in Oct?
