It tends to hurt more than most other pain, though it may not seem to be coming from direct pressure, a wound, or anything like that. It can be burning, electric, shooting,tingling...I get it so bad in my feet that even a sheet against my foot hurts.

I think you'll know, as it won't feel like any pain you'd recognize.

If it's anything like mine, you will hurt like you have never hurt before. But, that's just me.

Nerve pain generally has components like burning, tingling, itching, numbness as opposed to simply straight achy/sharp pain. It usually has layers.
