Peripheral neuropathy can result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, inherited causes and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes. People with peripheral neuropathy generally describe the pain as stabbing, burning or tingling.

Diabetic neuropathy is a complication of diabetes that results in damage to the nervous system. It is a progressive disease, and symptoms get worse over time. Neuropathy happens when high levels of fats or sugar in the blood damage the nerves in the body.

A lack of B12 damages the myelin sheath that surrounds and protect nerves. Without this protection, nerves cease to function properly and conditions such as peripheral neuropathy occur. Even B12 deficiency that is relatively mild may affect the nervous system and the proper functioning of the brain.

Damage to the vagus nerve Unfortunately, diabetic neuropathy cannot be reversed, according to the Mayo Clinic. If the vagus nerve becomes damaged by physical trauma or the growth of a tumor, it may cause digestive symptoms, or hoarseness, paralysis of the vocal cords and slowed heart rate.

A pinched or damaged nerve in your spine may lead to blurred vision or headaches, loss of hearing, slurred speech, and bowel and bladder problems, to name a few.

Moreover, if nerves in your spine become permanently damaged, you may experience long-term adverse health effects in other systems and organs in your body. A pinched or damaged nerve in your spine may lead to blurred vision or headaches, loss of hearing, slurred speech, and bowel and bladder problems, to name a few.

If tarsal tunnel syndrome is left untreated, it can result in permanent and irreversible nerve damage. Because this nerve damage affects your foot, it could be painful or difficult to walk or resume normal activities.

CMT causes damage to the peripheral nerves, which carry signals from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and relay sensations, such as pain and touch, to the brain and spinal cord from the rest of the body. There are a number of types of CMT.

A burn could affect the nerves of the body if it disrupts or damages the neuropathic system. Most burn injury survivors will report some nerve reactions to a burn; the most common being tingling, numbness, burning, weakness, pain, and sensitivity to touch.

Neurons. Neurons, or nerve cells, carry out the functions of the nervous system by conducting nerve impulses. They are highly specialized and amitotic. This means that if a neuron is destroyed, it cannot be replaced because neurons do not go through mitosis.

Pinched median nerve A pinched nerve occurs when too much pressure is applied to a nerve by surrounding tissues, such as bones, cartilage, muscles or tendons. This pressure disrupts the nerve's function, causing pain, tingling, numbness or weakness. A pinched nerve can occur at a number of sites in your body.

Any interruption to the flow of blood may bring brain damage or death. The nervous system maintains homeostasis by controlling and regulating the other parts of the body. A deviation from a normal set point acts as a stimulus to a receptor, which sends nerve impulses to a regulating center in the brain.

If the nerve is compressed or irritated in the spine, it can cause all kinds of symptoms, including pain, numbness, Restless Leg Syndrome and involuntary movement disorders, just to name a few. The nerves are the body's electrical system.

Nociceptors are specialized nerve endings for detection of potential tissue harm by mechanical, thermal or chemical stimuli. Where are cell bodies of nociceptors found? Outside of the CNS in dorsal horn ganglia.

The sensory or afferent division of the PNS includes nerves that have a sensory function and carry impulses to the CNS for integration. These are typically receptors that detect stimuli both from within the body (interoceptors) and outside the body (exteroceptors).

Alcoholic neuropathy is the result of damage to these nerves. The damage may be the direct result of long periods where you drank too much alcohol. Nutritional problems linked to alcohol use, such as vitamin deficiency, can also cause nerve damage.
