Author Can Pain Cause Neurogenic Shock?

Hi:

I wonder what would happen if each of my voluntary muscles were
paralyzed [including speech muscles; excluding breathing muscles] and
someone took an oxyacetylene flame and burned the skin all around my
body resulting in extensive superficial partial-thickness burns. Lets
also say -- for some magical reason -- the burns did not cause immune
responses, inflammatory reactions, or hypovolemic shock. Would I go
into neurogenic shock from the pain?

Due to the paralysis, I would obviously be unable to scream or flinch
no matter how much pain I am in.


Thanks,

Radium
