Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi there ~

There are many causes of this kind of neuropathic pain that you are experiencing. You might also benefit from seeing a psychologist that specializes in pain and also getting medications from a pain specialist or a psychiatrist as this will tremendously help with the depression as well. I hope you consult them as soon as you can. Take care and have a lovely day!
