Nerve pain occurs when nerves are irritated, damaged, or affected by an underlying condition. Unlike typical muscle soreness, it may feel burning, stabbing, tingling, or like an electrical shock. Managing it effectively requires understanding its cause. Treatment options can vary considerably between individuals and may involve addressing an underlying illness, physical rehabilitation, lifestyle measures, or medication prescribed by a healthcare professional. Keeping track of symptoms, triggers, and changes over time can also help your doctor understand the problem and recommend suitable care.
