Symptom #2: Pain

Some individuals affected with peripheral neuropathy can sometimes experience pain that can be described as sharp and shooting in nature. It most commonly occurs in the legs. Some even experience pain from stimulus that normally should not cause pain (such as a light touch). Neuropathic pain does not start suddenly or resolve quickly and the intensity of pain can often wax and wane throughout the entire course of the day.

Patients at risk of neuropathic pain include those with diabetes, cancer, vitamin deficiencies, stroke, human immunodeficiency virus infection, multiple sclerosis, cancer treatments, and shingles. Neuropathic pain can be described as sharp, hot, cold, dull, itchy, stinging, burning, or deep.
