What Is Nerve Damage?

Nerve damage, commonly known as neuropathy,  is a disorder in which the nerves become weakened or malfunction. This damage impairs the ability of the nerves to transfer messages between the brain, spinal cord and other regions of your body. Nerve damage can result in paralysis or organ dysfunction in severe cases. Common symptoms include:

  • Sharp, searing or electric shock-like feelings
  • A pins and needles sensation
  • Reduced strength and mobility
  • Increased sensitivity to pressure
  • Reduced or nonexistent reflexes
  • Problems with coordination
  • Difficulties with balance and fine motor abilities

The symptoms of nerve damage vary depending on the type of nerve affected and the extent of the damage. Several types of nerve damage can affect the body, each with its own set of symptoms. Some common types of neuralgia include:

How Can I Learn if I Have Neuralgia?

Neuralgia comes with a set of signs and symptoms that persist over time. Other than a sharp pain in and around the affected nerve, other symptoms include:

  • Hypersensitivity to changes in touch, pressure or temperature, resulting in heightened pain reactions
  • Numbness, tingling or prickling in the area supplied by the damaged nerve
  • Muscle weakness or even paralysis when the nerve damage is severe
  • Certain actions, motions or external stimuli, such as light touch, pressure and temperature changes cause or aggravate the pain

While these are the most common and somewhat milder symptoms of neuralgia, problems may occur based on the underlying medical condition and the individual nerve involved. Potential complications associated with neuralgia include:

  • Severe neuralgia can impede mobility and function, especially if it affects nerves involved in motor control, resulting in muscle weakness, loss of coordination or paralysis.
  • Neuralgia pain can cause emotional anguish, anxiety, sadness and other psychological symptoms.
  • Severe and prolonged pain can disrupt sleep patterns, resulting in exhaustion and a host of other complications.
  • If left untreated, neuralgia can cause continuous and excruciating pain.
