what is neuropathic pain?
Pain is something that people often think will disappear when the original cause heals, such a broken limb. However, neuropathic pain is different. It is a chronic condition which is caused by damage or dysfunction in the nervous system. Neuro means nerves, and pathy means abnormality. It is difficult to predict the pattern of neuropathic pain as it can continue long after the initial cause has resolved.
