Neuropathy
If you are experiencing a persistent burning, itching or numbness, a sensation of pins and needles, or a phantom pain that seems difficult to classify or localize, you might be experiencing symptoms that fall under the broad umbrella of Neuropathy, or nerve damage. First and foremost, your doctor must identify the underlying cause before he/she can tailor the correct course of treatment. This is crucial because the sooner treatment is initiated, the less likely the nerve damage will become permanent.
