Burning sensation

Bones, joints and muscles

hi I've had PMR and GCA for nearly 2 years, I'm down from 80mg pred to 5.5mg, I've had lots of side effects, I've always had a numbness and tingling feeling on left side of top of my back, I think from the start, but lately I have this burning sensation across the top of my back, almost like sunburn,

i was reading somewhere about nerve damage, and wondering if anyone else has suffered with this, thanks

It sounds like you might have shingles. You should have it looked at.

Hi, do you have any little rash with it, and also is it itchy ? I had shingles once and thats what it was like.

Agree with Cathy, see your Dr soon : Cheers

You should check that it is not shingles. Look for a rash.
