Hi, and welcome to the forum.  Neuropathic pain is difficult to treat and we were lucky enough to have a pain management doctor wrtie up to Health Pages on the subject.  Please click on the two links below.  the first one is explaining what neuropathic pain is and the second is describing how to treat it and explaining why you want (actually NEED) to go slow.  No one WANTS to go slow, of course.

http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Multiple%20Sclerosis/General-Principles-of-Treating-Neuropathic-Nerve-Pain/show/452?cid=36

After you have read these come back and ask any more questions you have.  

Do you know why you have nerve pain?  MS?  Diabetes?
