Nerves are not dead when there is numbness; rather, numbness indicates that the nerves are not functioning properly. This can occur due to various factors, such as compression, injury, or underlying medical conditions, which disrupt the transmission of signals. While the nerves may still be alive, their ability to communicate sensory information is impaired. Depending on the cause, numbness can be temporary or a sign of a more serious issue that requires attention.
