I've been living with pain so long that I actually feel weird when I have bouts of no pain...

Anyone else get this pain when they feel too hot at night? I never get this feeling in my arms when I'm over heated in the daytime.

The pain for me is there overnight cold or warm.  Torso pain, arm pins & needles.  I can even feel
it when I'm half-in and half-out of sleeping.  Like it WANTS to keep me awake.
 
It depends but it IS better for me daytimes and in the HEAT.
 
When one neurologist looked at my MRIs of my pine ... she commented briefly
of seeing arthritis there.  Unsure if she was full of it or not.
 
I attribute my pain to syringomyelia and stiffness and JUST BEING A QUAD where
pain is arbritrary.
