✔ Postherpetic Neuralgia – Nerve pain after shingles infection, common in older adults

✔ Intercostal Neuralgia – Pain along the rib cage, worsens with breathing or movement

✔ Sciatic Neuralgia (Sciatica) – Lower back pain radiating to the legs, caused by sciatic nerve compression

✔ Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia – Pain in the throat, tongue, and ear, triggered by swallowing

✔ Diabetic Neuropathy – Nerve pain due to diabetes, often affects hands and feet

Symptoms of Neuralgia

✔ Sharp, Shooting, or Electric Shock-like Pain

✔ Burning or Tingling Sensation

✔ Increased Sensitivity (Allodynia) – Pain from light touch, wind, or temperature changes

✔ Numbness or Weakness – In affected nerve areas

✔ Pain Worsens at Night or with specific triggers
