Nerve pain is also know as peripheral neuropathy. It is when there is damage to the peripheral nervous system caused by disease or trauma. Nerve pain can be treated with a range of drugs including trycyclics and pregabelin. Antidepressants have been known to alleviate nerve pain. If you live in a state that permits medical cannabis, then you are fortunate, because cannabis has been shown to be effective for successfully treating a wide range of neuropathic disorders.
