Can someone describe neuropathic pain for me?

[QUOTE="PaulinaB, post: 623332, member: 96654"] Thanks everyone! It sounds familiar, especially the part where it goes numb and then comes back but muuuuuch worse. And touch hurts, I can't sit or lay down :/ and that it's different between both legs (my left leg is much worse) is also expected? For me the pain is not the same all the time, my legs are little painful all the time, but it usually gets much worse in the evening. And yesterday I noticed that when it gets bad, I get a feeling of shooting pain in some placed, like being repeatedly stabbed in this spot... Can it also affect hands? My hands like to go little numb and the joints in fingers are frozen/painful when I try to move them. To be honest I was really hoping it's just some kind of vitamin deficiency that's causing muscle spasms, but it seems my gp is right :( He prescribes [B]gabapentin[/B] or something like that, does it sound familiar to anyone? EDIT: It's called gabapentin, not gabaliptin, lol :) I knew it's gaba-something [/QUOTE]
