A stinging rebuttal. The Google gods are with you.
Tomasz Poplawski (asker) Apr 14, 2016:
https://www.wegweiser-psoriasis.de/resources/Broschuere_Psor... - "kłucie" but that's not the only one if you have patience for some inquisitive googling
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Apr 14, 2016:
Thank you. I see your dilemma regarding burning. Can you provide a link connecting kłujący ból and łuszczyca ?
Tomasz Poplawski (asker) Apr 14, 2016:
Frank, I understand your concern. But here's the problem: the next question of the survey is about "burning," so when you translate "stinging" as "pieczenie," it will be rejected, and for a good reason.
I've been involved in all sorts of patient questionnaires for 20 years, and these fine distinctions are always a problem.
However, "kłujący ból" is listed on some Polish psoriasis sites. It is probably not the number 1 or 2 symptom but it is out there.
Frank Szmulowicz, Ph. D. Apr 14, 2016:
@Tomasz Poplawski: I could not find a description of any other pain associated with psoriasis in Polish other than pieczenie. Stinging is a very broad term. The question is whether this is a localized, prickly pain or a distributed, broad-area pain. I (and my medical authority) believe it is the latter. My sources are included.
