Neuralgia
Neuralgia is pain that follows the path of a nerve, generally described as stabbing, burning, or similar to an electric shock. It can appear in different areas of the body depending on the nerve involved.
Common symptoms: episodes of brief, intense pain, tenderness in the affected area, and, at times, tingling.
Common causes: irritation, compression, or damage of a nerve may be behind this type of pain.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the professional who studies nerve disorders; the neurosurgeon may join in selected cases, and the general practitioner guides the first visit. If pain of these characteristics becomes recurrent, it is worth discussing it with a professional.
