Neuropathic Pain

Neuropathic pain is most times explained as a burning or shooting pain. It is capable of stopping on its own, but most times, it is chronic—can be severe and unrelenting and also can come and go. This form of pain is often caused by a malfunctioning nervous system or nerve damage. The effect of nerve damage is a transformation in the functions of the nerve at both the injury site and all its surrounding areas.

Neuropathic Pain Diagnosing

For neuropathic pain diagnosing, your health expert will conduct a physical exam and an interview. The doctor might ask you to describe your pain if anything triggers it when it occurs. The health professional will also inquire about your risk factors for your pain, and you might undergo nerve and blood tests.

Get the attention you deserve by getting an appointment at 3R Regenerative Medicine Center with a neuropathy specialist in The Woodlands.

Treatment of Neuropathic Pain

Antidepressant and anticonvulsant drugs are often administered as the first line of treatment. Some studies on neuropathic pain propose the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Motrin or Aleve that might ease the pain. Some individuals might need a stronger painkiller. Always discuss with your doctor before taking any medication. You can contact us at 3R (Regenerative Repair & Relief) for the best professional neuropathic pain management advice.

Most times, other conditions like diabetes can be involved, and in this case, excellent management of that condition might ensure that the pain is alleviated. Appropriate management of these other conditions is vital to ensure further nerve damage is prevented.

Neuropathic pain can be significantly controlled by stimulating the nerves electrically.
