Diseases For Which Nerve Pain Is A Symptom

Today's post from powerofpain.org (see link below) is a surprisingly thorough and useful resource for people trying to understand a) what caused their form of neuropathy and b) why that particular cause brings about nerve pain. It's a website based resource that requires you to click on links to discover more about each individual neuropathy and that's well-worth doing. By going to the home page of the national pain foundation (http://powerofpain.org/), you will appreciate much more how neuropathy is just one element of a large number of pain conditions and how chronic pain is truly a huge problem in the age we live.



A list of diseases, syndromes and conditions that involve nerve pain as a symptom. 
National Pain Foundation 2015

AUTONOMIC*

The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, and sexual arousal. This system is the primary mechanism in control of the fight-or-flight response and its role is mediated by two different components.

AUTOIMMUNE**

Autoimmune diseases arise from an abnormal immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body (autoimmunity). This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g. in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g. Goodpasture’s disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and the kidney).

OTHER

Other types of neuropathy conditions include; toxic, metabolic, trauma, compression entrapment, infectious, and congenital hereditary. These conditions are typically treated by multiple types of medical professionals. The goal of treatments should be to understand the physiological system of the condition and then working to prevent permanent painful neurological transformations.
