‘Mystery pain’ awareness campaign launched

A EUROPEAN-WIDE awareness campaign for people suffering from neuropathic pain has been launched.

A website – www.mysterypain.ie – has been created as part of the campaign to provide information and support for people unable to describe their pain so that the condition can be diagnosed earlier and treated.

Patients often describe the pain as burning, crawling, stabbing and shocking, and more than a third say they suffer every day from it.
