What can cause sunburn like pain across shoulders on back and down the backside of arms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be...: A burning type of pain is usually associated with nerve irritation. In this area it could come from your neck area or cervical nerves. However for a final diagnosis you would need an exam in person. Make an appointment with your doctor for formal evaluation and management.
