Neuropathic pain is described as abnormal feelings like shooting or burning pain, tingling, numbness, or increased sensitivity. The pain can be constant or come and go, and it may be accompanied by other symptoms like weak muscles or changes in skin temperature or texture.

Peripheral Neuropathy
Damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, which can be caused by diabetes, infections, injuries, autoimmune disorders, or exposure to toxins.
Spinal cord injury
Damage to the spinal cord that leads to ongoing nerve pain below the area of the injury.
Postherpetic Neuralgia
This happens after someone has had shingles (a viral infection) and causes ongoing pain in the area where the rash was.
