Patient's question:
I have had severe left-sided pain for 2 years.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be neuropathic pain, which refers to pain felt without external stimulation and is also known as spontaneous pain. There are many types of spontaneous pain, which can be categorized into peripheral neuropathic pain and central neuropathic pain based on the location of the lesion. If the cause is unknown, it is called primary neuropathic pain, while if the cause is clear, it is referred to as secondary neuropathic pain. Treatment options include acupuncture, physiotherapy, massage, and carbamazepine.
