Re: Painful skin with no physical evidence?

Hi Insight,

That kind of thing could come from your back.

There are particular places on the skin which are innervated by the nerves which come through particular vertebrae, each vertebra feeds a particular cutaneous zone. This is called Cutaneous Innervation, IIRC.

A Massage School or a good Chiropractor would probably have the books you could look this up in, where the boundaries of the skin being fed by each nerve are defined and you can compare them to your specific locations of pain.

If you do look that up and it corresponds, and if you can locate a good Chiropractor or Osteopath in your area, then you may benefit from spinal adjustment.

The only other thing I can think of is that if your localized pain does not match up to the patterns of cutaneous innervation, your Lymph system could be struggling and that could produce skin-level soft-tissue pain.

All this is assuming that you are not eating, using or being exposed to some toxic substance or something you may be allergic to, etc.

I hope this gives you some good ideas.

Good Health to All of Us,

Ladylove :)
