Thanks to those who answered courteously.

1. You are attempting to rest leaning on the gas grill.

:shrug:

[RB TexLa]

2. No, I'm not

[Cleita]

3. If you aren't joking, I would get to an ER pronto.

Heat usually infers infection and infections if not treated can kill.

[TransitJohn]

4. You're a long haul trucker?

With the tell-tale left forearm sunburn? :shrug:

[RB TexLa]

9. No.

It's not the skin, it's the inside anyway.

[Truth2Tell]

5. I am going to do nothing medical regarding this.

Why not? Are you a Scientologist? Or do you just like it?

[RB TexLa]

7. Because I'm not going to give anyone my money for it.

[Captain Sensible]

11. Yeah dying because you're cheap is fantastic...nt

[Muttocracy]

6. did you do something different before this happened?

move it and circulation changed? pinched a nerve or stretched a tendon lifting something heavy? etc.

[RB TexLa]

8. Not really but could have been from lifting from earlier.

[salvorhardin]

10. Pardon me

But you are an idiot -- if you do not seek expert advice about this. At the very least, your local hospital should have a "phone nurse" on duty who can tell you if it's something serious you should report to the ER for. It could just be a rash, it could be an infection, or it could be something serious.

[Cleita]

12. Yes, it also could be a venomous insect bite that could put one into

encephalitic shock.

[salvorhardin]

17. Exactly

Speculating about this on DU is idiocy. The OP should get medical advice pronto.

[RB TexLa]

18. I am neither paying for or seeking medical services or advice. Just wondering what it could be.

[salvorhardin]

19. Dude, look

This could be a lot of things. Just pick up the phone, call your local hospital and ask. They won't charge you anything for that, but if it's serious you want to get it looked at. Damn the medical bills, your life is more important.

[RB TexLa]

21. Neither my username or my name is "dude"

[salvorhardin]

24. I hope things work out for you n/t

[Cleita]

20. Well, we've given you our speculation, so it's up to you now. n/t

[LeftishBrit]

27. Well, you can only 'find out what it could be'

if you do seek medical advice.

It's outrageous that you have to pay for it; but given that you do, it's a false economy not to. At least ring the doctor and see if *they* think you need to go and have it looked at.

[TwilightGardener]

13. Well, good luck with that.

[SmileyRose]

14. carpal tunnel - you'll have to spank the monkey right handed for awhile.

:blush: - I can't believe I said that....... LOL

[RB TexLa]

16. Huh?

[baby_mouse]

28. It's a euphemism. nt

[malaise]

15. Take two Bayer aspirin and head to the ER n/t

[valerief]

22. Found this here. Goodbye.

ntroduction: Forearm burning sensation

The skin sensation of partial numbness or "pins and needles" or a type of "burning", "tingling" or "creeping" sensation of the skin, is known as a "paresthesia". Symptoms may start as a tingling (paresthesia) and change to a numbness, or there may be a combination of decreased sensation (numbness) but with heightened sensations at certain times or with stimulation. Any type of tingling, burning, or numbness is usually a symptom related to a sensory nerve being damaged, diseased, or injured. Causes depend on the exact location of the paresthesia sensations, but typically include a physical nerve injury type condition (e.g. a nerve entrapment or some type of pressure being applied to a nerve directly or to the spinal attachment of that nerve), or a disease condition affecting the nerves (e.g. neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and others). Having these sensory symptoms in multiple locations, or the recurrence of similar symptoms in different locations is a hallmark symptom of multiple sclerosis, so your doctor will likely ask about the past history of similar symptoms to assess the likelihood of multiple sclerosis as a diagnosis (see symptoms of multiple sclerosis). Any of these tingling or numbness symptoms are more than just annoying; they can indicate a serious medical condition and require prompt medical diagnosis by a professional.
