Neuropathic Pain (Nerve Pain)

If you have experienced back pain that lasts for 3 months or more, it is referred to as chronic.

Pain that lasts for longer than three months is called chronic pain. The pain can be a result of illness, an injury or accident or have no apparent trigger. It may vary in intensity and be in any part of your body.

Complex regional pain syndrome is severe, long term pain usually as a result of an injury. It is normally confined to one limb that becomes extremely sensitive to even slight changes in temperature or touch.

Drop foot is a symptom of an underlying nerve, brain or muscular problem that causes weakness or paralysis in the muscles you use to lift your foot when you walk.

Neuropathic pain is pain caused by diseased or damaged nerves. It is different from the pain caused by trauma (injury), burns or pressure as normally it cannot be eased using traditional pain relief such as paracetamol or anti-inflammatories.

Parkinson’s disease occurs when cells in your brain are damaged over time. Called a progressive neurological condition, symptoms occur due to a lack of a chemical called dopamine.
