Neuropathy

NEUROPATHY PAIN

Neuropathic Pain is a complex, chronic pain state that usually is accompanied by tissue injury. With neuropathic pain, the nerve fibers themselves might be damaged, dysfunctional, or injured. These damaged nerve fibers send incorrect signals to other 
pain centers.

While there are countless types of neuropathic pain, some of the common types include:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome: Caused by nerve compression in the wrists and causes pain in the wrist,, thumb and fingers.
• Central pain syndrome can occur after nervous system damage, such as a stroke.

Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy might include:

• Gradual onset of numbness, prickling or tingling in your feet or hands, which can spread upward into your legs and arms.
• Sharp, jabbing, throbbing, freezing or burning pain.
• Extreme sensitivity to touch.
• Lack of coordination and falling.
