Wandering tingling pain on the body

Some patients often feel a tingling sensation in their body, but the location of the tingling is also different. It is a migratory pain. Most of the causes of this pain are closely related to rheumatoid arthritis. It may also be caused by skin diseases. When the tingling begins, it feels like a needle prick. So what causes the migratory tingling pain in the body?

What is migratory pain

Migratory pain usually occurs in rheumatoid arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Doctors call this type of pain that rotates throughout the body migratory pain.

Causes of migratory pain

Migratory pain mostly occurs in the joints. The main causes of migratory pain are as follows.

1. Neuralgia caused by diabetes

The characteristics of burning neuralgia are:

(1) Spontaneous, intractable pain that is difficult to relieve without proper treatment;

(2) It can occur in any part of the body, but is more common in the lower limbs and intercostal neuropathy;

(3) The pain is burning, diffuse and persistent, or worsens in paroxysmal bursts. In severe cases, painful cramps may occur.

(4) The pain is relatively superficial, and there are no abnormal changes in bones, muscles, or joints;

(5) Attacks may be accompanied by vascular-autonomic nervous system symptoms, including postural hypotension, angioedema, sweat gland secretion disorders, etc.

The pathogenesis may be related to high blood sugar causing neurotrophic and metabolic disorders, coupled with a lack of certain vitamins (such as B1, B2, B6, etc.). In particular, elderly patients often have vascular lesions, which makes local ischemic changes prone to occur. Such multiple factors ultimately contribute to the occurrence of burning neuralgia.

2. Degenerative changes in joints

Degeneration refers to the abnormal changes that occur in the cells, tissues, and organs of the human body as we age. The common term is "aging".

3. Chronic joint strain

Due to the relatively large amount of activity in the joints, the muscles and other soft tissues around the joints become strained, causing pain.

4. Osteoarthritis caused by rheumatism, rheumatoid arthritis, etc.

Osteoarthritis often affects large weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, and interphalangeal joints of the hands.

Causes of this condition include aging, obesity, trauma, or the need to frequently lift heavy objects.

Clinical symptoms include joint pain, stiffness, and occasional swelling, initially with difficulty walking up and down stairs and being unable to squat.

Gradually, their mobility declines, and they are unable to walk long distances or go up and down stairs. Their joints become deformed (such as O-shaped or X-shaped knee joints). In severe cases, they need to use crutches or a wheelchair to walk.

5. Polymyalgia rheumatica

A clinical syndrome characterized by pain in the proximal extremities and trunk.

Generally includes the following points:

① Onset of illness in patients aged over 50 years;

② Pain and morning stiffness occur in two of the three vulnerable parts of the shoulder girdle, pelvic girdle and neck, lasting for more than 30 minutes and lasting for more than one month;

③ Evidence of systemic reaction such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate increased by more than 40mm/h or 50mm/h.
