These quotes, as well as many of your other posts, reference burning as a major symptom of yours. Not sure where to ask/talk about it, so posting here. Can you expand on describing your burning pain?
Is this a nerve burning or a muscle burning? Is this a heat or fire burning feeling, electrical type burning, or a lactic acid burning feeling? Is it isolated/stay in one place? Or does it travel up your limb/nerves?
Where do you get this burning? Seems from your posts like it's all over: upper back, arms (when typing), legs (sheet sensitivity), etc. Does it move around? Do you get it in your feet like typical neuropathies?
You say get the burning pain after exertion. Can you expand on this? If you sat or laid still, would you have burning pain? Or does it come on quickly and go away quickly with motion/effort/exercise? Is it isolated to only the areas/muscle being used?
I will try to describe the burning pain I experience but its very hard to explain.
The burning can vary. Sometimes I have burning pain in what Im pretty sure is the median nerve, since I can feel the nerve itself is irritated.
"Is this a nerve burning or a muscle burning? Is this a heat or fire burning feeling, electrical type burning, or a lactic acid burning feeling? Is it isolated/stay in one place? Or does it travel up your limb/nerves?"
I honestly don't know, it may be both. I think its both nerve and muscle burning. and it can be the one or the other at different times and both at the same time. It kind of itch burns. Maybe electrical? But at the same time it may feel like fire burning too. I honestly have big issues describing it. I have a feeling of lactic acid burning as well.
You can get lactic acid pain in the muscles from SFN as I have understood. Since it can decrease circulation making it harder for the blood to transport oxygen to the muscles.
I have burning in my arms when typing too much and after different exertions. In my legs as well which is also connected to exertion. I get coat hanger pain which is a dysatuonomia symptom and it feels like lactic acid buildup in my upper back on both sides of my back. It feels like I dont get enough oxygen in those muscles. It helps sitting down and it also helps using a needle mat.
I dont have the sheet sensitivity anymore, though I can get it sometimes. The burning in my legs isnt that bad anymore either, though it goes up and down in severity. I think compression has been one of the best things Ive done. I have less fasculations after I started using compression as well. I had hardcore burning pains and muscle twitches in my legs and in the beginning I couldnt stand the feel of compression. But I pushed through since the pain I get from walking got a little better and after a while the burning and twitching got better.
I dont get pain if I lay in bed and take it easy. But when I first get the burning it can take a while before it gets better, from days to weeks or sometimes it can disapear faster. It feels like it isnt that isolated. I get burning on different places on my arms, but the same ish each times.
Its also possible to have SFN and dont experiencing burning pain at all. You can have it without knowing it. SFN is very likely vastly underdiagnosed.

You have probably seen this, if not I highly recommend it. All ME patients should watch this.

"Most people think the increased blood flow velocity and the compressed fabric on your skin will help with the burning sensation and discomfort that often accompanies peripheral
neuropathy.
Compression garments have also been said to reduce cramping and help with nerve and temperature sensitivity."
