A burning sensation is a type of [[pain]] that's distinct from dull, stabbing, or aching pain. A burning pain is often related to nerve problems. However, there are many other possible causes. Injuries, infections, and autoimmune disorders have the potential to trigger nerve pain, and in some cases cause nerve damage. ---- [[Numbness]] is often accompanied by other sensation changes, such as a pins-and-needles feeling, [[burning]], or [[tingling]].
