Usual pain is in response to some injury to somatic tissues. Neuropathic pain is due to primary disorder of the nerves. You may read this technical publication on this subject: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5371025/

Pain is always mediated via nerves, transmitting noxious stimuli up to spinal cord to the brain. Pure nerve pain syndromes, such as trigeminal neuralgia, can be excruciating, but then so can non-nerve pathology with viscous pain from kidney stones, and labor and delivery. If you suffer pain, have your doctor evaluate.
