    Peripheral neuropathy typically causes pain and numbness in the hands and feet - often described as a tingling or burning sensation. Peripheral neuropathy can result from diabetes, traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems or exposure to toxins. People with neuropathic pain commonly use Lyrica (32%), Neurontin (31%), and Cymbalta (12%).
