Burning sensations
 
I've been cutting 7 years now and like a lot of people, there is a certain area of my body that I've been attached to the most. My cutting on this area during the 7 years has varied from multiple times a day ( as it is @tm) to roughly every 3 months. However just lately I've noticed a couple of times where I've severe burning sensations through the area and my muscles have sort of gone into spasm. It happens at random and very suddenly so that if I was holding something, I might drop it with the pain. I've checked the cuts and there is no sign of infection. I have recieved medical attention for wounds in the past but they are on the whole not life threateningly deep. I just wondered is it possible that the nerve endings in my skin have some how got messed up pain signals? Or do u have any other suggestions as to what this could be? And even better what I could do about it? Any adivce would be appreciated.
Thanks

it sounds like it is possible that you have done some nerve damage, but you will need to see a doctor to diagnose and treat that. There isn't anything that you can do without being seen. You should try and refrain from cutting at all until you can get checked out. You should also get checked out soon, so you know what the problem is.
