A member asked:
I was told that i have hypersensitive nerve, and that my chronic back pain is neuropathy pain. how long until it goes away? i've had it for 6 months.

Neuropathic pain.: Neuropathic pain can be quite severe, and depending on the mechanism is may never truly “go away” on its own. Some causes are correctable and some are not. But there are medications available for neuropathic pain that may afford you some relief in the long term.
