About Neuropathic Pain
Neuropathic pain results from nerve damage and often feels like burning, tingling or electric shocks. Ordinary painkillers help little; specific nerve-pain medicines and procedures work better.
Controlling blood sugar, correcting vitamin B12 deficiency and treating the underlying cause are essential, so tests are done to look for treatable contributors.
