Neuropathic pain?

Can anyone define exactly what Neuropathic pain is and what parts of the whole body structure it can affect?

I have neuropathic pain in my hands which is the result of nerve damage caused through spinal compression. The symptoms are constant stinging pain in fingers,

Pins and needles, numbness, coldness and burning pain. Had it now for three years and cannot find any relief.

Hi, I have neuropathic pain following surgery for breast cancer. Am on pregablin which takes the edge off it. Nothing gets rid of it completely. Have had it since surgery 2 1/2 years ago. Took along time to get any answers from Drs they did not help much for a long time. Bit better now though. Have been told it is a long term chronic condition and may never get better.
