Neuropathic pain takes many different forms. Among the most common ways that people describe it are as a burning pain or as a stabbing or shooting pain. Strange sensations (dysethesia) can also be caused by nerve damage, and these may be described as painful itchiness or a feeling of bugs crawling on the skin. This feeling may not be painful exactly, but it does cause distress.
In addition, people with nerve damage related to cancer may experience pain in response to something that is not normally painful, like a simple touch or the feel of clothing on their skin. They may also experience a complete loss of feeling in a specific area.
