Neuropathy is a broad term used to describe several types of pain related to nerve damage. This type of pain is typically described as “hot, burning, tingling, pins and needles”. There are numerous causes including: diabetic neuropathy, sciatica or radiculopathy, peripheral neuropathy, autonomic neuropathy.
