| Burning skin is generally caused by denervation. In | | | | In my experience, the most effective way to get |
| fibromyalgia, this can be caused when a nerve that | | | | tight and tense muscles to relax is self-massage with |
| travels between or through muscles gets pinched or | | | | a ball (self trigger point therapy) or sometimes even |
| compressed by the muscles. The muscles might pinch | | | | just ischemic compression (pressing on the mucles so |
| or compress a nerve when they are chronically tight | | | | all the blood gets squeezed out - then when you let |
| and tensed and full of trigger points. | | | | go, fresh blood can get in there and help it). |
| So, if the main nerve gets compressed and the brain | | | | Learning self-trigger point therapy is extremely |
| loses signals from it, what it does is tell all the other | | | | important to anyone with fibromyalgia or frequent |
| tiny nerves in the area to become hypersensitve so | | | | denervation, in my opinion, because as you learn |

| When all the nerves in an area become | | | | self-treat it your confidence will grow, your muscles |
| hypersensitive, that is when you get that burning skin | | | | will heal, and your body will relax. As your body |
