--to have neuropathic pain even if there is no objective finding of nerve damage, as such damage can be patchy or spotty. And, of course, EMG/NCV studies only can measure rather gross damage to larger, myelinated nerves.

And, of course, there can be central sensitization from long periods of nerve misfiring, leading to neuropathic pain symptoms even after damage to nerves or other tissue has healed. This occurs when there are trophic changes to the neurons over time--they become much easier to "set off", even in teh absence of noxious stimuli (this is referred to as allodynia--pain withour reason). It's also why I suggested you investigate/bring up to your doctors the possibility of reflex sympathetic dystrophy/Chronic regional pain syndrome

Still, I don't think this is necessarily what's happening here, filipe. You're still in early stages of healing, if there was significant muscle/tendon damage.

I also suspect part of this is the language difference--in English, "chronic neuropathic pain" is a syndrome, not a disease. It is descriptive, but does not give a REASON for the pain. One has to go to a further level of analysis, to find out if the syndrome is being caused by an actual disease. Chronic neuropathic pain can be caused by many conditions, but is not a disease in itself.
