Your left arm feels like it's burning all the time because you have nerve damage of some kind. This can be external or internal, as in a disease process such as diabetes. You should see a Neurologist to further examine your arm and to evaluate the process. This can be treated if looked at early.

Is it possible that you have Shingles? If you have had Chicken Pox, in adulthood you can develop Shingles, and it is very painful. Same virus family as Chicken Pox, Herpes virus. You don't mention if you've any visual symptoms, the only other thing I can think of that would cause a burning sensation, an infection of some sort, sunburn.
