Question 1

what causes a 15 second burning sensation in left chest?pain was above breast, below collarbone.empty stomach.non exertional.recent stress test ok .

Accepted Answer

Anxiety can produce: these symptoms as well. If the recent Stress was Okay, like you stated, then I would not worry about it. Sometimes we all have these short-lived 'feelings' or sensations which pass off. I am sure everyone has had these at some time or the other in their lives.

Question 2

nipple burning sensation and about 4cm swelling under the collarbone.  i know breast cancer is rare for men.  but should i be concerned about cancer?

Accepted Answer

Possible mastitis: You may simply be having inflammation of the breast that gives the burning sensation and may be triggering regional lymph node enlargement. However, male breast cancer can happen rarely as you said but must be ruled out..at least, have a physician look at it (send pictures)

Question 3

about two months ago, i tumbled down a mountain with a round of firewood. significant bruise over most of outer side left calf. 1 month later, laid over street bike, the same area, same leg (calf). now, any pressure on calf causes burning sensation?

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a doctor to ensure that compartment syndrome or blood clots are excluded.. Wish you good health!

Question 4

what would cause a burning sensation in right hand palm?

Accepted Answer

Burning sensation: It may be compression of a nerve that innervates the hand muscles, such as of the median, ulnar, or radial nerves. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an example. However, your doctor will need to examine you  to make a more accurate diagnosis since the nerves innervate different muscles of the hand. Then a treatment plan can be made. Sometimes further evaluation is needed, such as with an emg/ncs.

Question 5

causes of deep burning sensation in right side of chest and right upper back/middle back? on and off, don't last long. don't think it's heartburn

Accepted Answer

Needs to be watched: In your age group, the most common causes are musculoskeletal problems that usually self-resolve. Esophageal spasm can cause deep middle pain. Acid reflux is also a possibility despite taking tums (calcium carbonate). Young women who are smokers and are taking oral contraceptive pills are at risk for lung blood clot that can cause chest pain. Heart issues need always to be ruled out but are unlikely at your age.

Question 6

burning sensation in right groin/thigh a few minutes after ejaculation. sounds like prostatitis. does herpes cause this or sound like a possible cause?

Accepted Answer

Many causes: Your pain could represent many things.  Your vas deferens transports sperm from your testicles via your groin.  You may have a hernia if there is a bulge present.  Prostatitis is usually accompanied by fever, pelvic/rectal pain or pain when you urinate.  A burning sensation on your thigh is usually a result of a nerve problem.  I would recommend a physical exam to assess your problem.

Question 7

does taking supplements(protein shakes) can causes uti, stones, or any other urinary tract/prostate problems? i feel burning sensation in right testes

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: The pain in your testis is rather unlikely to be related to your supplemental protein shakes. You need to see a urologist and have this examined.  Good luck.

Question 8

can hemohrroids cause a burning sensation?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Burning and itching are common with hemorrhoids. Sitz baths and stool softeners can help.  If your symptoms persist, see your doctor.  You might benefit from steroid suppositories.

Question 9

what causes burning sensation in the various parts of the body?

Accepted Answer

Peripheral neuropath: Peripheral neuropathy refers to damaged sensory nerves caused by diabetes, vitamin deficiency, physical trauma, consequence of shingles, etc. Go see your doctor for evaluation & appropriate treatment. Sometimes we use older antidepressants like Amitriptyline (lots of side effects in elderly), epilepsy drugs like Gabapentin & pregabalin, pepper compound (capsaicin), numbing agent (lidocaine) etc.

Question 10

The ulnar nerve(funny bone) can get irritated and cause burning pain esp.If your pinkie or ring finger get numb or tingle.Tendinitis responds to nsaids, rest from offending activities(power grip), ice massage etc. If no improvement see your orthopedic surgeon.
