Holy cow!. You ,must have been in some serious pain to get all that!. the burning sensation is definitely a nerve problem!. When a nerve is damaged, it will give a burning feeling!. I would say there was a lot of irritation due to either the needle or the medication!. I'm hospitalized a lot and once, an I'M needle hit the nerve in my hip!. At first, it burned so bad, I wanted to scream!. To this day, that area is numb and very sensitive to touch!. I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but it's real!. You need to have it looked at by a specialist!. Feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
