Question 1

nerve pain in my whole body misfire?

Accepted Answer

Shocking: If you are having irritation to all your nerves is would likely be from some type of electrical process. Do you notice it at certain times?  For example when working or near appliances like computer?

Question 2

what is the cause of the nerve pain in my entire body?

Accepted Answer

In your case: is a sign of anxiety, and one that can cause a great deal of distress. Depending on the cause of your anxiety symptoms, your health care provider can recommend appropriate treatment. See your PCP for evaluation and possible referral.

Question 3

i received medication for nerve pain, yet i feel numbness all over my body. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Queries: Do you have a diagnosed peripheral neuropathy, as that could cause these symptoms?  Key item is to uncover cause of "nerve pain", and treat the underlying issue.  Medications for pain treat symptoms, not cause.

Question 4

nerve pain all over body all the time. anything i can do to heal nerves? i take benzo for anxiety and seems to help but not sure if it's making worse.

Accepted Answer

Interesting: When someone describes a symptom that is "all over", I usually find clues on lab work, if this is a new thing for you. I would order CBC with diff and plt, liver tests (AST, ALT, AlkPhos, bilirubin (total &amp; direct)), FULL thyroid panel (TSH, T3, T4, free T4), vitamin d, Homocysteine, B12 &amp; folate, FSH, LH, estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone. Also keep symptom journal for any daily changes.

Question 5

can you tell me about nerve pain doc gave me meds but i am feeling numbness all body ?

Accepted Answer

Pain and depression: Individuals with neurotic depression report more pain than do those with endogenous or biologically based depression. Anxiety, muscle tension, all body paralysis and hypochondriasis are common symptoms in depressed individuals. In the majority of patients, pain and depression develop at the same time. Take care.

Question 6

what other diseases can give you diabetic nerve pain throughout your body, besides diabetes? that and ms are ruled out so far.

Accepted Answer

Wrong diagnosis: If there is no diabetes, the diagnosis is not "diabetic nerve pain." there are many potential causes of widespread pain, see a pain doctor. The good news is that almost none of those causes is acutely dangerous.

Question 7

what is the cause of nerve pain on left side of head and down left side of body with nausea ?

Accepted Answer

Thalamic pain: can produce pain on one side of the body (including the head).  The clinical course may help with sorting out what is going on. Is this jolts of pain, progressive episodes of pain and are there any other symptoms besides nausea?
Does change in body position relative to gravity affect the pain ? You need to have this worked up.

Question 8

i've been getting random pains throughout my body- mostly my extremities. they are piercing pains and leave as fast as they come. is this nerve pain?

Accepted Answer

See a Neurologist: These symptoms deserve a proper workup in the office of your physician.  You may need to see a neurologist or a pain specialist.  However, you need a proper in-depth work up.

Question 9

i get sharp intense nerve pain randomly throughout my body since childhood (fibromyalgia). lately it's becoming constant in my hands, why?

Accepted Answer

Needs Evaluation: There's no way to say without a complete evaluation. See your doctor to get started.

Question 10

can gabapentin improve hr &bp fluctuations in autonomic dysfun. take 1800 mg 4 nerve pain on entire left body & mildly helping. is it a coinkydink?

Accepted Answer

Not that I know of: Am not aware of any studies showing gabapentin effective at treating either BP or pulse fluctuations or other autonomic dysfunction.  Would be helpful do know what the origin of this dysfunction and your neuropathy since they may well be related.  I hope you are seeing a neurologist for this, who may suggest testing for the various causes of such dysfunction.  Talk with the prescriber for advice.
