Still have strange pain on skin?

Question

I have this strange pain that started on my right thigh, feels like between body aches from a cold and if I had burned my skin with very hot water...it moved from my right thigh to the right side of my hip and now on the under side of my right arm. Its kind of worring me. Someone at work told me they thought it might possible be a nerve issue. Its not an allergy from soap..it definetly feels from internal...???

Answer 1

This sounds really strange...yeh it could be nerve issues. There's also something called referred pain meaning that if you have an injury somewhere, the injury site isn't painful but the pain gets relocated elsewhere. Im not too sure if it can actually be referred to a whole lot of different places tho, I was always under the impression that it only got referred to the one place. Ie an abdominal injury can have referred pain to your C-spine.

There's also DVT - deep vein thrombosis. I'm sure you've heard of it, when a clot forms and lodges in a blood vessel causing blockage and cell death, and swelling and discolouration of the affected site. But Im also not sure that if you had a DVT that it could lodge, cause pain, and then travel...?

I would deffinately recommend going to the doctors about this one. Hope i helped somewhat...

Best of luck

Answer 2

I would see a neurologist for this. You can have nerve damage that will send the wrong messages to the brain. These messages can send the pain to the wrong areas of the body. Generally they're associated with spinal damage.

There is help in re-training nerves that have gone awry and retrain them into what they're suppose to do.
