Neuropathic pain occurs when nerves become damaged, compressed, or dysfunctional, often causing sensations that feel sharp, burning, tingling, or electric. Unlike muscle or joint pain, nerve-related pain can persist even after tissue healing and may affect sensation or strength in the affected area.
Peripheral neuropathy involves damage to the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It can cause numbness, burning, or weakness in the hands and feet and is commonly linked to infections or certain autoimmune conditions.
This type of nerve damage develops as a complication of diabetes, often affecting the legs and feet first. It can lead to tingling, loss of sensation, or shooting pain and may interfere with balance and mobility.
CRPS is a chronic pain condition that typically develops after an injury or surgery. It causes intense, prolonged pain that may be accompanied by swelling, changes in skin color, or temperature sensitivity in the affected limb.
Trauma, infection, or surgical procedures can sometimes injure nerves, leading to long-term discomfort, tingling, or weakness. This type of pain may develop immediately or appear gradually as nerves attempt to heal.
