Re: Nerve Pain

Yes the pain is intense, to me it felt like I was getting stung by a bee over and over again. It would be there, and then it would go away, and then it would just reappear again out of no where. And when it hit - ouchhhhhhhhhhhh....

Apple pie you say...mmmmmm....one way to take your mind off the pain, but Im thinking eating the pie would definately take my mind of the nerve pain.....

Have a good day, and hope that it goes away for you soon. Mine stayed with me for two day and then poof - it was gone!

Re: Nerve Pain

I did some reading on this and this is what I found.....

Neuralgia is pain that follows the path of a nerve.

Pain along the path of a specific nerve.

Pain located anywhere, usually on or near the surface of the body.

Sharp, stabbing pain that comes and goes (intermittent) or constant, burning pain.

Any touch or pressure is felt as pain. Movement may also be painful.

Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage to the peripheral nerves - nerves that carry information between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the rest of the body.

Peripheral neuropathy may be caused by a number of different medical conditions, such as diabetes, cancer, neurological disorders (Multiple Sclerosis) and nutritional deficiencies.

So it looks like we might be on the right path here....

Re: Nerve Pain

I just remembered that I would get a flash of pain on the right side of my face, it would last a couple seconds, go away, then return minutes or hours later. And nothing would take away the pain.

Re: Nerve Pain

i get that sensation in my hips as well, and also my feet. and geez, if u are walking when it comes, u almost scream, but like u say it goes away, very strange. and as far as nerve pain, im on the highest dose of gabapentin, i would think that would take care of it.

Re: Nerve Pain

Annette, Mom of Two and Doug....thanks for your replies....

From what u have described, it sounds just like what I experienced...that stinging burning sensation.....it was enough that it woke me from my sleep....Ive been stung before by bees and wasps, and I tell ya, that is exactly what it felt like, except it would completely go away, and then come back out of no where....And I did think that it might have been a reaction to a site injection, but it had been a week since I hit that hip, and the location of the pain was not near where I normally inject...

I am glad to say that it is gone now, so I am thinking that it could have very well been nerve pain - I have read that over the counter pain killers like Advil will not even touch nerve pain, and this is running true, as the Advil didnt do a thing...

Again thanks everyone, appreciate the time spend to answer my question....

Have a great day everyone

Gary

Re: Nerve Pain

Hi Gary:

I have had something similar as to what you were describing. I had it by my tailbone although it was not directly on the bone itself. I went to my neuro and it had bothered me for months. It was like burning stinging sensation but it really stung. Couldn't explain it really it was just there annoying the heck out of me. Finally had an MRI on it but as usual the results came back with nothing to show. That is why I believe it can be nerve pain. Mine finally went away back at the end of Feb. and hasn't been back since, Thank God!

I hope yours will go away soon, because it can be very annoying and I sympathize with you.

Annette.

Re: Nerve Pain

Interesting that you posted about this....I experienced something similar this afternoon. It was my right lower back. It felt as though I got stung or bit by an insect. But there was nothing there. I didn't think much of it until I read your post and it got me thinking. Quite often I will get the mixed up sensations, like when something soft brushes against my leg, it feels as though it hurts. Was yours anywhere near an older injection site and it's a delayed side effect? I really hope you feel better soon!! Might be a good idea to jot it down to discuss at a future doc appt.

Re: Nerve Pain

Hey Gary,

I get stuff like that from time to time... It never bothered me enough to ask my doctor though. Havn't had it in while, maybe a year or more. I usually get stuff like that in my arms and hands. I suppose it could be nerves as they're all over the place and I have had some injuries in those areas. No idea though.

Cheers.

-Doug

Nerve Pain

I have a question about this....the other night, my hip began to suddenly sting and burn, and it was like I had just been bitten by a bee or something...then it went away. But then it came back again, and that same stinging - burning feeling. I checked to make sure that I was not getting stung, but no. Then it would completely go away, and then just as fast as you can blink, it was there again....it occurred all evening long. I took some advil, but it did not do a thing. Even when I was sleeping that night, it would hit, and wake me up cause it stinged and burned so much....oh and this was not near an injection site that evening either...

Could this be what people call "nerve pain"

Any info that you might have will be greatly appreciated

Thanks, Gary
