Neuroplastic pain is caused by different mechanism, it's caused by the brain and neural pathways, turning on in the absence of tissue injury, but the actual sensations of pain can be just as real (and at times actually worse as I've had the experience and many of my body practitioners will tell you) they pain due to structural causes. Methods for treating are different. They use pain, processing therapy, emotional processing, mindfulness, another method to help the retrain the brain to a reinterpret pain. Some people respond better than others, but I find it can never hurt to add that as an adjunct. Look up Howard schubiner MD.

@bealillie thanks for the information. I will keep it tucked away once I’ve exhausted testing, etc. I am still at the point that I’m trying to make sure there isn’t some underlying issue causing this as I can’t get anyone to test me for the things that might cause SFN. I will research this though, as I’m curious what it says about how this comes to happen that the brain suddenly stops processing pain reception properly.

@bealillie - Thought I would share this link that lists several other discussions on the topic of Neuroplasticity - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/. I think Barry @user_che214927 may have some experience with brain neuroplasticity and neuropathy.
