Nerve pain is sharp or tingly, and tissue (visceral) pain is dull or throbbing. There is actually a difference between tissue and nerve pain.

Nerve pain and other abnormal nerve sensations are called paresthesia.
It can feel like "pins and needles", electrical shocks, numbness, heat or cold. Nerve pain always travels away from the spinal cord or nerve injury to the periphery.
Nerve pain is caused from compresson or damage to a sensory nerve, as in a toothache were the nerve is exposed or subjected to infection or with diseases such as MS.
Nerves are the sensory organs that sense pain as well as other types of sensations. Nociceptors are the sensory nerves that actually "feel" the pain.
There are also motor neurons which give the body it's movement signals. these do not experience pain.

Both Lyrica and Cymbalta work very well for diabetic neuropathy. Within 1 week of starting Cymbalta, I experienced an 85% reduction in symptoms. Since Lyrica was added, I am 99.9% pain free. My neuropathy is from a different cause, but, I understand that the results are similar, regardless of the cause. I have experienced no side-effects, except a bit of sleepiness, which is fine because I take these pills at night. The problem with pain killers is that they treat the symptom only. Lyrica and Cymbalta attack the problem itself by disrupting/blocking the overstimulation of the nerves themselves. Talk to your Dr about this. Good luck.

I had a benign tumor a few years ago and it was putting pressure on my sciatic nerve which caused constant pain in both legs near the hamstrings. It was mostly an aching feeling often accompanied by a burning sensation.
