                      Neuropathic and Neurogenic Pain

                      Neuropathic and neurogenic pain is pain that arises from dysfunction of the nervous system. Neuropathic pain may have some or all of the following features:
                      - a burning quality
                      - pain produced by longitudinal loading and moving the nerve
                      - spontaneous pain not provoked by any movement (shooting pain)
                      - latent pain (pain onset or increase minutes or hours after performing the aggravating activity)
                      - pins and needles (paraesthesia)
                      - sensitivity to cold
                      - pain reaction out of all proportion to the aggravating incident or activity (hyperalgesia)
                      - pain from an action or posture that would not normally be painful (allodynia)
                      - sensitivity to compression of the arm (blood pressure cuff)
