Question 1

what causes pain in both arms from shoulders down to fingers? sometimes right hand fingers feel as if they are moving slowly.  almost a burning pain

Accepted Answer

Look at your neck: since cervical nerve roots affect the hands as does the upper thoracic nerve roots. Often when there's neck problems or overuse syndrome (typing nonstop) can affect a carpel tunnel that can affect ur fingers. So call your doctor. Get a 2nd opinion too from an osteopathic doctor (DO) who specializes in NMM (Neuromusculoskeletal medicine) &amp; can evaluate you medically, possible image your neck too.

Question 2

does emg show cidp? ive had burning pain in both arms and now a hand tremor (occasionally at rest) but emg/ncs & mri were clear. could it be cidp? neuro didnt take my issues seriously because im too young for anything bad - im scared?

Accepted Answer

: Have no clue why you suspect CIDP, but an EMG study would easily confirm if you truly had it.   If you feel that your doctor is dismissing your symptoms, would suggest a second opinion.  Another more thorough approach is a virtual consult here at HT, where we can objectively survey your situation and provide new guidance  (www.connect@healthtap.com).

Question 3

i have a burning sensation in both arms that goes to my pinky finger.  what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Nerve pain: It sounds as if you have a nerve irritation. Since it is in both arms it  may be coming from a compression in the neck. See you doctor. You may need some testing to diagnose the exact cause.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve: Sounds like a pinched nerve n your neck. See your doctor for evaluation. May need an mri, p.T. Or meds.

Question 5

what causes intermittent pain in both arms from shoulders down to fingers? almost burning pain. seems to be worse at elbows, wrists.

Accepted Answer

Neck problem: its possible that you symptoms are due to cervical stenosis or cervical radiculopathy. You should see your doctor about having either an MRI of your neck And/or nerve conduction study to pin point the problem.

Question 6

what causes burning neck pain that radiates down both arms? along with numbness and tingling in the neck? the burning pain at times is unbearable

Accepted Answer

Disc problem: While most of the time it is not serious but it could be a sign of a disc problem or another condition called spinal stenosis. I would recommend your see a spinal specialist who will evaluate your physical exam and may order further diagnostic tests such as an MRI

Question 7

i am on a prednisone pack. i am having so much burning pain in the neck and down both arms. i had it before i took them but now it is worse. help?

Accepted Answer

Nerve impingement?: can be caused by being sandwiched between two spinal bones, pressed by a bulging. It can cause muscle spasm and back pain. Prevention treatment is always recommended. This condition must be professionally managed. See interventional pain management specialist for definitive diagnosis and management.

Question 8

i have intense back pain with burning sensation my shoulder and neck has been hurting to with pain here and there in both arms what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Disc: Your nerves exit the spinal canal and go down your arms. If compressed you can get the symptoms you describe.

Question 9

the skin on my inner bicep area burns. i have no idea why? it is on both arms. it just started up today. at first it was bearable and now it is a very uncomfortable burning sensation. can you help me understand why this is?

Accepted Answer

Weight lifter?: On statin medications for cholesterol?  Fungal infection?    There are lots of possibilities.  Please see your doc for a diagnosis and treatment.   Peace and good health.

Question 10

i'm having a burning sensation both front thighs,both arms,lower back..weakness both legs?

Accepted Answer

Could be neurologic: burning sensation that you describe could be something effecting the sensory nerve fibers going to your legs.  weakness of legs may be something with the nerves innervating and leading to your legs.  I suggest you see your primary care physician or a neurologist.
