Pain in the peripheral nervous system

[somasimple]

Perhaps: Neuropathic pain is a dysfunction of the nerve (or of another neural component) itself. Neuropathic pain have also many components; peripheral (local) and central.

In my case, my right foot feels like it is being roasted 24/7 because of a stroke that damaged a small part of my brain-stem.

In the described case, it seems a central pain. It is a complex pain and it is very difficult to find a solution. The mirror box may help to normalize the two sides.
A central problem may also creates peripheral problems...
