What causes recurring burning sensations in my fingers, thumb, and knee without pain?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Please provide me with answers to the following questions:

1. Did you experience similar symptoms in your feet?

2. Do you have a history of diabetes?

3. Have you had excessive alcohol consumption?

4. Have you noticed any weakness in your hands, such as loosening your grip or difficulty in writing and holding things?

5. Have you observed any change in the color of your hands, like turning blue or red during the episodes?

6. Do you have joint pains, like pain and stiffness in the finger joints?

7. Is there a history of drug abuse?

8. Are you following a vegan diet?

9. Have you noticed any triggers for your symptoms, such as worsening after a hot shower, exercise, long walks, humid climate, fever, or anything that increases your core body temperature?

10. Have you experienced any visual disturbances, loss of color vision, or blind spots?

The symptoms you describe, including pain and tingling in the hands, except for similar knee pain, could be related to neuropathic pain and should be confirmed. I would suggest some tests like Vitamin B12, fasting blood sugar (FBS), postprandial blood sugar (PPBS), and nerve conduction studies (NCS). It is also advisable to work on weight management. Multiple sclerosis should be ruled out, particularly because your symptoms are episodic.

I hope this helps.
