Members confirmed that burning skin sensations are a recognized symptom of fibromyalgia, with many describing intense episodes that feel like sunburn, carpet burn, or scalding, often without visible redness and sometimes so severe that clothing becomes unbearable. Several members shared that the burning can appear suddenly in patches on various parts of the body including the back, legs, hands, feet, and torso, lasting anywhere from minutes to hours before disappearing just as mysteriously. A recurring theme was frustration over limited treatment options, with one member noting that even a physiotherapist confirmed there was little to be done specifically for this fibromyalgia symptom, though members encouraged each other to consult their doctors if worried.

I get it in patches with hyper sensitivity as well, it gets so bad i cant wear clothes over the area affected, its usually my legs or torso though. The burning sensation feels like a carpet burn with no redness.

Hi
Yes I have suffered with this pain.
I though it was different from my normal aches and pain that I suffer with fybromayalga.

I ask my GP could I by be referred for pyshio because of pain. I was worried.
I hadn't experience this pain before.

My appointment was not so long ago it was two weeks I attended.

The physio therapist even explained that there was nothing they could do for me!!! because it was my fybromayalga.

So yes this is one of the symptoms you will experience.

IF you are worried and your concern talk to your GP.

Yes twice.... it is super sensitive like you have been scalded. I just had to go to bed and sleep till it passed. I don't know why it happened but it's different from the pain I feel every day especially when I touch different areas of my body that are so inflamed. I have never had shingles but I think that feeling is what your describing....
