Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

The feeling of burning sensation or something on fire can be seen in case of post menopausal syndrome.

Having said this, the most common cause of burning and pricking sensation is post menopausal syndrome.The other common cause at your age is nutritional deficiency and I will request you to take nutritional supplements in particular Vitamin B12.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
