Specializes in Pain Management

Central Pain: There have been similar questions in the very recent past-possibly yours. Your pain could be falling into what is termed a central pain syndrome. These problems are treated with different meds than the typical pain conditions. This condition can occur just about any time after a neurologic injury or disease.
