There is a wide range of nerve damage forms. Distinct varieties may exhibit different symptoms and require diverse forms of care. Peripheral nerve damage is common in diabetes patients and affects the elderly.
The motor neurons are a part of the spinal column and brain that connect with every other muscle in the body. Lou Gehrig's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are examples of disorders that can harm these nerves. These can progressively impair the nerves. For example, one may experience weakness or burning sensations when vital vitamins such as B12 or B6 are deficient. These can kickstart symptoms of nerve pain and damage.
Cancer is another possible cause of nerve pain and damage. In this case, malignant tumors may smother nerves or result in nutritional deficiencies that alter nerve functions. Also, certain forms of radiation and chemotherapy can result in nerve pain and even damage.
