Understanding and Treating Inflamed and Painful Nerves: Insights from a Neurologist

The neurologist spoke about why nerves become inflamed and hurt.

Cold nerves are one of the most common complaints with which doctors are consulted during the cold seasons. Neurologist and candidate of medical sciences Ekaterina Demyanovskaya spoke about this problem.

From inflammation to numbness

Large nerves can become severely hypothermic in the cold. Sometimes this has a temporary effect and may go away on its own after some time. But if there is a chronic infection in the body or a person suffers from an autoimmune disease, HIV infection, then there is an increased risk of developing neuritis. The most common cause of neuritis is inflammation of the nerve.

Most often, patients complain of inflammation of the vestibulocochlear, trigeminal, facial and optic nerves, brachial plexus and sciatic. With neuritis of the nerves that are responsible for tactile senses, pain disorders actively develop and sensitivity disappears.
And with neuritis of the motor nerves, muscle numbness and weakness are felt. Sometimes mixed nerve ganglia are also affected, then the person feels all of the above symptoms.

Trigeminal neuralgia can cause severe pain. Sometimes it comes to numbness and waiting for the attack to become weaker. But the neurologist notes that sometimes the burning and pulsation persist between attacks.

Get dressed and go to the doctor

Ekaterina Demyanovskaya strongly advised not to self-medicate, but to immediately consult a doctor. Overheating, which a person may try to cure a cold nerve, will only do harm.

To avoid neuritis, the expert advised to take care not to get too cold. Naturally, a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition and the absence of bad habits will also help in this matter. It is very important to consult a doctor in time if a problem does appear.
