What Causes Burning Sensation In The Forearms?
Hello, I have had this symptom a few years ago and it went away. Unfortunately, it has returned. My forearms, either both at the same time or one will feel prickly and burning. Any suggestions? I have read this could be one of 27 things. Kinda hard to narrow down, lol

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Most common causes for burning sensations in forearm are
1. Diabetes
2. Vitamin b 12 deficiency
3. Cervical spine pathology.
So get done sugar levels, vitamin b 12 level and x ray & MRI of cervical spine. Treatment is based on diagnosis. So first diagnose and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
