Torso-Based Nerve Pain?
(FYI: I was in a car accident in September of 08, but I’ve never had much from with me from it other than whiplash, but that pain only lasted so long due to chiropractor visits)
Recently (within the past two months or so) I began feeling this intense prickling/shocking sensation that turns to burning all over my lower back and stretching up to my shoulders, forearms, biceps, abdomen, front of my torso and stopping at my waist and neckline as well as my hands.
I’ve done extensive research online, but all I can come up with it possibly Diabetic Neuro-something (I have a history of Diabetics in my family, but I just have high blood pressure.. My blood tests never confirmed if I had diabetes or not)
The pain is overwhelming, I can’t express any emotion, gain adrenaline, feel nervous, excited and heat (as simple as a heater popping on in the house) triggers it and it slowly overwhelms my entire torso with an intense "pins and needles" sensation (like when a body part goes numb and starts to tingle, but add an almost burning sensation to it).
It amplifies until I remedy the situation (sometimes I can’t): turning off the heat, stepping outside in the cold air and even just pushing through the pain and hoping it will go away sometimes works.
It always comes back, it’s been reoccurring every day so far and happening in almost any place I go, so it’s not home-related.
Any suggestions?
I have a doctors appointment, but they’re not a qualified neurologist, so I doubt they could do anything.
I read online about a few medicines that may help me:
Neuropen
Lyrica
I’m not going to take them unless prescribed though. Help?
I’d suggest looking into trigger point therapy. Trigger points are hypersensitive points in a taught band of muscle, can exist in any muscle in the human body (including smooth muscle). They tend to refer pain to other parts of the body, without regard to nerves in any way. For instance, a trigger point in your deltoid muscle may feel like carpal tunnel syndrom, with pain radiating into your hand and fingers.
You likely have a number of them, as injury is a definite trigger to them. A massage therapist can find them easily, and treat most of them. Doctors (other than chiropractors) rarely know what they are, but sometimes use injections to relieve them (it’s one of the treatments, though it’s a bit excessive). Muscle relaxers pretty much eliminate them for a time, though they can come right back after those wear off.
You won’t know what to look for, so you’ll need professional help. Just seek out a massage therapist, preferably one who has been in the field for a few years. It’s a skill that takes practice and time to master. Oh, and the treatment, while intense and uncomfortable, bordering on painful (often actually very painful), it’s easy enough to accomplish.
Good luck, there may be other problems as well, but this one is almost guaranteed to exist.

Are you referring to diabetic neuropathy?
I feel you should see a neurologist as it does sound like a nerve issue.
Good luck!
