Does anyone else experience skin pain? I guess the best way to explain it is, when I’m having a flare, which I am right now, I have radiating pain in both my femur bones, hips and tailbone, in all the muscles below my waist to my feet, but also my skin. It hurts to be touched or to have clothes touching my skin. Like I’m sunburnt or bruised and someone is pressing down on the bruise. It might sound confusing and it’s hard to explain. Anyone else?

All I can say about the skin issue, is from time to time I get something like that but only on the back of my legs, waist to feet...even sitting in the bathroom hurts...it’s like a sore tingling, the sheets hurt me, very hard to explain! Kind of like a burning but more hurt skin. Don’t know if this is what you’re referring to, but I do have issues with it. Comes out of nowhere and usually lasts just that particular day. If I think of a better way to describe it I’ll let you know.

Yes, I’ve had that too. It feels like your skin is bruised when something touches it. It’s strange and hard for others to understand when you try to explain.
