Neuropathic pain is often described as burning, sharp, stabbing, shooting or like an "electric shock". Other symptoms include tingling and numbness. Light touch over the painful area may also cause pain. This is called allodynia.
You should see a doctor to confirm the diagnosis. Your doctor will conduct an interview and physical examination. He may ask you specific questions regarding your pain, including onset, nature and triggering factors.
