Suggest Treatment For Burning Sensation In The Forearm

I have only woke up out of bed. It is 01:58 am and I went to bed about an hour ago. When I woke up I felt a burning sensation in my forearm on my right side. It feels like I have an intense sun burn but it is autum here in Ireland and its not sunny as its getting colder. What could this sensation be?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have burning sensation in the forearm . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like diabetes , peripheral neuropathy , chemical burn , peripheral nerve trauma , cerebrovascular accident , systemic lupus erythematosus , or forearm injury. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may examine arm by asking you to do certain movements , order x-ray , CT scan and MRI . Doctor may recommend you to do particular type stretching exercises , physical therapy and prescribe vitamine supplement . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist if he/she find problem to be due to heart condition . For now give your arm proper rest and apply ice pack to your arm .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
