Cause

Nerve damage

Mononeuropathy, also known as local neuropathy, is caused by damage to a single nerve or a group of nerves. Most mononeuropathy comes fairly suddenly and is painful. Nerve damage does not spread from the initially affected nerves, and usually subsides after a while. However, some mononeuropathy can have symptoms similar to life-threatening conditions, such as heart attacks and strokes, and will not subside without seeing a doctor. Unlike other mononeuropathy, trapped syndromes, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tend to worsen gradually and can persist for a longer period of time.

Patients caused by heteroneural trauma due to the disease should choose a successful treatment depending on the degree and nature of the trauma. For example, nerve breaks should require nerve sutures. If there is a scar or other compression, corticosteroids can be used for nerve trauma recovery. Acute onset of compression neuropathy with sensory irritation but no movement disorder and paralytic signs

Radial nerve palsy

Humeral shaft fracture injury. Fracture of the epiphysis formed after the fracture. Compression damage during sleep. Replacement of the pillow with the arm during tight surgery. Prolonged abduction of the upper arm with a tourniquet. Improper lead poisoning. Alcoholism can cause movement disorders. Different manifestations of sensory disturbances are distributed in the small area of the back of the thumb and the first metacarpal space

Median nerve palsy

Common causes of median nerve injury are venous extravasation of anterior elbow area with intravenous drug injection, humerus or forearm fractures with sharp cuts on the wrist, and puncture wounds. Compression caused by carpal tunnel connection syndrome compression causes weakening or loss of grip and forearm pronation muscle strength The main involvement of sensory disorders is the radial palm and thumb index finger middle finger palm face ring finger half of the index finger and the middle half of the back of the middle finger of the index finger. The median nerve is rich in sympathetic nerve fibers and is prone to burning neuralgia. The earliest carpal tunnel syndrome: the three radial fingers The numbness and pain of the sensory disorders and paralysis of the intermuscular muscles are more common in middle-aged women.

Ulnar nerve paralysis

Knife injuries or fractures are easy to damage Elbow support Compression Trauma Leprosy Humoral epicondyle development and elbow valgus deformity can also cause elbow canal Shanghai syndrome is also very common The ulnar nerve injury is typically manifested in the loss of motor function of the small muscles of the hand Affects the fine movement sensation of the fingers in the phalanx of the ulnar side of the back of the hand and the ulnar side of the ring finger

Common peroneal nerve damage

The cause can be painful injury, fibula fracture, lead poisoning, compression, lead injury, prolonged squatting, traumatic traction, and injury. Patients can show that Changsha feet and toes cannot dorsiflexion and sag. When walking, lift the toes and stand first. Anterolateral and foot back sensory disorders

Tibial nerve injury

Shows multiple cases of foot and toe inflexion, difficulty in walking on tiptoe, weak varus, sensory impairment, mainly in the sole of the foot

Occipital neuralgia

It can be caused by upper cervical spondylosis, spinal tuberculosis, osteoarthritis, spinal cord tumors, dural meningitis, and metastatic tumors. Upper respiratory tract infections or tonsillitis can also cause or unknown etiology. Occipital neuralgia is mostly unilateral and originates from the occipital region to the top of the head. Radiation of the protrusion or outer ear shows persistent dull pain, which can be exacerbated paroxysmal or intermittent attacks. Head and neck cough and sneezing can be exacerbated. Excess of occipital protuberance is often under tenderness. The area of occipital nerve distribution may have hypersensitivity or decrease.

Brachial plexus neuralgia

Clinical characteristics of idiopathic brachial plexus neuralgia: Adults often have infection or vaccination history. Acute subacute onset with fever and systemic symptoms; typically with severe pain in the shoulders and upper limbs, muscle weakness in the upper limbs occurs within a few days. Secondary reflex changes and sensory disturbances. Secondary brachial plexus neuralgia is mostly caused by the compression of the brachial plexus adjacent to the tissue lesions in Zhejiang Province. The shoulder and upper limbs have different degrees of pain. Persistent or paroxysmal aggravation at night and limb movement pain. Atrophy and reduced autonomic nerve tendon reflexes. Cervical spondylosis is due to cervical degenerative disc degeneration and vertebral bone hyperplasia. Compression of cervical nerve root and / or spinal cord. Syndromes are often found in men who are onset. The disease course is slow and repeatable attack

Intercostal neuralgia

The etiology is mostly secondary to thoracic diseases such as pleurisy pneumonia and aortic aneurysm, and thoracic rib trauma secondary to epiphyseal formation or periostitis thoracic rib tumor or malformed thoracic tumor or inflammatory chest shingles. Several intercostal pains Paroxysmal exacerbation of respiratory coughs and sneezes can exacerbate skin irritation and rib tenderness in the corresponding intercostals

Lateral femoral cutaneous neuropathy

Common causes have been local compression, trauma, diabetes, alcohol poisoning, arteriosclerosis, obesity, abdominal tumors, and pregnancy and uterine compression. Some causes are unknown. There are more men than women. They usually occur on one side and are manifested as engaging in abnormalities in the outer thighs, such as ants walking and burning. Numbness or acupuncture, etc.

Sciatica

Common in young adults is characterized by radiation pain along the sciatic nerve pathway. Multiple unilateral radiation from the lower back or buttocks to the posterolateral calf and posterolateral lateral foot shows persistent dull pain or burning pain. Paroxysmal aggravation at night can often aggravate walking activities. Or pulling can induce or aggravate the patient to take a pain-reducing posture, slightly flex the affected limb, and bend the sick side of the knee when the patient is in the supine position.

Femoral neuralgia

Femoral nerve injury manifests that patients with special gait become as far as possible to avoid flexing their knees and walking with small steps. First stretch out the healthy foot, then drag the diseased foot to advance the cutaneous branch injury. Severe neuralgia and hyperalgesia are caused when the patient in the same prone position lifts his lower limb. Pain in front of thighs and groin Hospitalized patients squatting on both feet cause pain and must straighten the knee tendon reflex disappeared Feeling disorders in the front of the thigh and inner calf can be accompanied by nutritional changes such as edema and bruising
