Nerve Pain Overview?
Nerve pain, technically known as neuralgia, is an intense, ongoing pain that seems to follow nerves through the body. It is caused by damage to the nerve or inflammation due to irritation. While not fatal, nerve pain can be severe and affect quality of life.Causes of Nerve PainThere are many causes for nerve pain, including accidents and illnesses. Nerve pain can be caused by chemical irritation and reactions to toxins or allergens. It is also a symptom of illnesses such as chronic renal insufficiency and diabetes. Nerve pain can also be brought on by viral infections such as herpes or HIV. Some genetic conditions can cause nerve pain, as can certain medications. Neuralgia is also brought on by pressure from other body parts pushing on nerves, and it can be the result of trauma.Symptoms of Nerve PainAcute nerve pain causes even the slightest touch to be registered as pain in the area near the affected nerve. It can also manifest as a numbness along the nerve pathway. The symptoms will always recur in the same area with sharp, stabbing pain. The pain may be either constant or it may be intermittent and can worsen when the affected area is moved. Muscles controlled by the nerve my become paralyzed or weak.Treatment of Nerve PainDoctors will first compile a history of the pain, when it began, what related health problems the patient may have and any recent changes in health or recent injuries that may have contributed to the symptoms. They will also perform tests checking for unusual sensations in the affected area, loss of reflexes, reduced muscle mass, nerve damage resulting in lack of perspiration, soreness in the area affected, as well as trigger points that cause severe pain.Treatment of nerve pain will depend on the cause, and may include surgery to reduce pressure on nerves, the use of diet and medication to control blood sugar, a wide range of medications to control pain, physical therapy or other appropriate therapy regimens.Prognosis for Nerve PainMost neuralgia will respond to treatment, and the condition is not life threatening, though it can be highly painful. The pain will generally come and go, and may worsen as the patient ages, depending on the cause.
