What Causes Nerve Pain While Suffering From Paralysis?

My aunt is partially paralyzed and she experiences various kinds of nerve pain, she is currently taking several medications to control those pains, my question is what other forms of pain or illnesses should she expect? She has been paralyzed since 2010 and was never prepared or spoken to about what to expect with her condition.

Hi,

She may be having fibromyalgia or regional pain syndrome. Both are chronic pain conditions and are quite difficult to treat. She can take analgesics like Tramadol or Gabapentin which can provide symptomatic relief in these patients. If pain persists, better to consult a pain physician and get evaluated. Emotional support is also very important in these conditions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
