A member asked:

Hand wrist arm burning ? and sometimes my leg what is this?i also feel the warmth and the pulsating of it? sometimes metallic taste what doc/testsneed

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neurologist: If the burning were restricted to the hand and wrist, nerve impingement at the wrist(carpal tunnel syndrome) would be suggested. However this would not explain leg burning sensation. A neurologist would be best to evaluate you and any appropriate tests will be ordered.
