Neuralgia or neuropathic pain can be defined most simply as non-nociceptive pain, or in other words, pain that is not related to activation of pain receptor cells in any part of the body.( like a Phantom pain )
Diagnosis typically involves locating the damaged nerve by identifying missing sensory or motor function. This may involve tests such as an EMG test or a nerve conduction test.
Neuralgia is more difficult to treat than other types of pain because it does not respond well to normal pain medications. Special medications have become more specific to neuralgia and typically fall under the category of membrane stabilizing drugs or antidepressants such as Cymbalta. The antiepileptic medication(AED) Lyrica and Neurontin (gabapentin) can be tried.
Treatment options include medicines, surgery, and complementary approaches.

You should consult your neurologist and come to conclusion which is the best treatment for you, take care.
