Understanding Pain and Soreness (3 of 3)
3. Nerve Pain (Neuropathic)
What it feels like: The most distinct type: look for sharp, shooting, burning, or "electrical" sensations. It's often accompanied by tingling, "pins and needles," or numbness.
How it behaves: The pain travels or radiates along a clear pathway (e.g., from your lower back down your leg). It can often happen unexpectedly, even when you're resting.
