WHAT ARE THE COMMON SYMPTOMS AND SIGNS OF NEUROPATHIC PAIN?
Typical neuropathic symptoms include pain (burning, shooting, stabbing, shock-like etc), occurring spontaneously or generated by touch, pin prick, pressure or movement; paresthesiae and dysesthesiae, numbness, pins and needles sensations and motor dysfunction (weakness, difficulty starting or performing movements etc). Neuropathic signs may include abnormal sensations, weakness, atrophy, changes in colour, temperature or sweating patterns and flickering of the muscles, stiffness or bizarre posturing.
