What Causes Severe Pain And Burning Sensation All Over The Body?

Hi I have been suffering from all over body pain ( burning, aching, shooting, stabbing) for over 3 weeks. I went to the E.R. Twice, had an X-ray on my ankle due to an open wound that was infected, I m seeing a neurologist (don t know the results of my brain MRI yet). I haven t slept more than 3 hours at a time since this started. My family doctor ( who I just met) diagnosed me with depression. Also I lost about 12 pounds in the first week this happened. I think that was because the pain was intense I lost my apatite. If I was depressed I didn t know it, so I have not started the antidepressant she prescribed. I feel that the wound on my heel (due to a women stepping on my heel at an outdoor festival ) that eventually had to treated for cellulitis is the root cause , but the ER doctors and my new doctor assure me that my pain and the wound are separate. Until the heel wound I excercised regularly and had two jobs. I missed two weeks of work at my regular office job, and haven t retuned to my waitress job.,I went to the gym yesterday for the first time since 9/11/16 just for lite cardo and to stretch. I m 49 years old and should have started my period right about the time this flared up but still haven t. I have had the basic blood and urine test which are normal. I still don t know the results of the bood tests my neurologist ordered, because I still need to sign up for medical record access. I guess I m just trying to get some professional help because this has taken over my life and I m afraid I will become depressed.

Hello,

It looks that you have stress and anxiety also. Though your hell would and body pains are different. But it may not be necessary for you to take antidepressants.

So kindly consult another doctor. You can take tablet Cetirizine, tablet omeprazole and tablet Ibuprofen for a better outcome of your burning sensation and body pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
