Does anyone else deal with areas of skin that will suddenly start hurting (painful to touch) with no rash or blemish, then a few days later stop?

Hi

Yes, i had this

It was either just painful, or it was hot and painful.

If its just painful, probably inflammation of connective tissue in skin, if its burning, probably inflammation of neurones in skin.

Hope that helps

Thanks Mark, it is good to know that yes this happens and it isn't just "me".

You are not alone. It is usually one of the first signs of a flare for me.

Great to know Lazy legs! Sorry you have to deal with that too, but it helps to know others find that sign too. Now if We can just get things under control so that we DON'T have to deal with that pain!

I get burning feeling and aching in my thighs. My skin is hot to touch too. Is this a symptom of lupus?

Take care

Yesterday my neuro explained the skin burning has to do with the small nerve fibers. It is not uncommon in Lupus and can be confirmed with a skin biopsy. It is sensory whereas peripheral neuropathy has more to do with motor control.

If I've overdone it or been exposed to artificial light, my knees always feel like they're on fire and they go red but are never hot to the touch. I use that as one of my warnings that I need to slow down. It's not pleasant while it's there though. I also get the sore skin feeling without any marks or rashes, like if someone was to brush a hair off my top at the back it would feel like hitting a bruise.

Lazy legs, I've had the biopsy done and do have small fiber issues, so that does start to out two and two together! Thanks!

I agree Jess that it is critical to catch those warning signs! We sure pay for it later if we don't....

My skin hurts often. It leaves quickly, although the skin on the back of my hands are still tender. Its been going on now for about a week, consecutively.
