Neuropathy & Nerve Pain Symptoms
Whether your nerve pain originates from peripheral neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), nerve pain after neck or back surgery, or a pinched nerve in your spine, these symptoms aren't something to push through. They're signals that nerve damage needs attention. The good news? Every one of these is treatable.
Sharp Nerve Pain
Sudden, shooting electrical sensations that radiate through your arms & hands, legs & feet, or down your neck and spine. Whether caused by a compressed nerve in the cervical or lumbar spine, peripheral neuropathy, or complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), these unpredictable jolts of nerve pain can strike without warning, making even gentle touch or movement unbearable.
Burning Sensation
An intense burning or scalding nerve pain in your extremities, neck, or back that never goes away. Your arms & legs feel like they're on fire, or a searing heat runs along your spine. This persistent burning is a hallmark of severe nerve pain, pinched nerves, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and nerve pain after neck or back surgery, that significantly impacts your quality of life and sleep.
Numbness & Tingling
Progressive loss of feeling in your hands, feet, or radiating from your neck and back into your arms and legs. Often caused by spinal nerve compression, peripheral neuropathy, or lingering nerve pain after spine surgery, this pins-and-needles nerve pain can cause weakness, loss of function & impaired sleep.
Extreme Sensitivity
Ordinary touch becomes painful—even bedsheets, clothing, or a gentle breeze can trigger severe nerve pain across your skin, neck, back or extremities. This heightened sensitivity, called allodynia, is one of the defining features of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and can also develop after neck or back surgery, peripheral neuropathy, or compressed spinal nerves.
Pain Disrupting Sleep
Neuropathy and nerve pain symptoms that intensify at night, robbing you of restorative sleep. The burning, tingling, severe cramping and pain in your extremities, neck, or back become unbearable when you're trying to rest. This nighttime pattern is common with spinal pinched nerves, peripheral neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), and post-surgical nerve pain, creating a cycle of pain and exhaustion.
Referred & Radiating Nerve Pain
Nerve pain that doesn't stay in one place—it travels. A pinched nerve in your spine can send shooting pain up your back and into your head, triggering debilitating headaches. It can radiate into the facial distribution causing jaw, cheek, and eye pain. Or it travels downward into the hips and pelvic area, creating deep aching that's hard to pinpoint. This referred pain pattern along the trunk and spine is a hallmark of spinal nerve compression and neuropathy.
