Neuropathic pain is a complex and often misunderstood condition that affects millions worldwide. In this comprehensive guide, we aim to break down the stigma surrounding neuropathic pain and foster a deeper understanding of this debilitating condition.

It manifests as burning, shooting, or tingling sensations, often accompanied by hypersensitivity or numbness.
