I am having burning and sweating on the right side of my body, and I had spine tumour surgery in 2008. Could this be related? What should I do?
Burning and sweating on one side of the body can feel unusual and uncomfortable, especially with your past history of spine tumour surgery. Such symptoms may sometimes be due to nerve-related changes, as spine surgery can affect how nerves signal over time. This can lead to sensations like burning, altered sweating, or temperature changes on one side. However, it is not always directly related; other causes, such as nerve irritation, stress, or changes in circulation, can also play a role. Since this is affecting only the right side, it is important to take it seriously and not ignore it. A proper check-up can help find out whether this is due to old surgical effects or a new nerve-related issue. Your doctor may suggest a physical examination and, if needed, tests such as a scan to determine the exact cause before deciding on any treatment. Try to avoid triggers such as excessive heat or stress, and keep your body well hydrated. If the burning sensation increases, spreads, or is associated with weakness, numbness, or severe discomfort, seek medical attention promptly. Early evaluation can help manage symptoms more effectively and prevent complications.
