In the upper extremity, such an example would be carpal tunnel syndrome. This can be caused by injuries such as excessive use of the computer keyboard for hours, not using the hand properly. Another cause is repetitive movements like certain occupations that you must always use hands throughout your working hours. In this case, several plexuses such as Brachial and Ulnar nerves are affected. There are also nerves behind the knee called "peroneal nerve" which is often affected as well.
The extremities are not only affected but can also affect the automatic nervous system. These are nerves that control internal organs such as the heart, bladder, blood vessel, kidney, intestine and the like. Diabetes is one of the major causes of chronic neuralgia among the majority of cases. This happens when the body can not properly regulate the use of sugar. There are also environmental problems causing toxins such as Lyme disease and neuralgia caused by infectious diseases. Lyme disease is caused by bacteria "Borelia burgdorferi" (b. Burgdorferi). Specific mites carrying this bacteria cause disease. Mites pick up bacteria when biting a mouse or a deer infected with Lyme disease. Tick infects individuals and infects people and bites people. The head of the tick is actually beneficial to the skin pores. People who walk, hike or do gardening must take appropriate precautions to prevent mites from being bitten. If ticks are found, you must remove them carefully so that their heads do not stay under the skin. It is another cause of vitamin deficiency, especially related to vitamin B group. Diseases of the thyroid, kidney, and cancer and thyroid can cause nasal pain symptoms.
As the term indicates, idiopathic neuralgia is also due to unknown cause. Many of these idiopathic neuralgia often remain undiagnosed, plagued by individual diseases. Also, a kind of neuralgia is famous. This heritable form is called "Charcot-Marie-Tooth" disease and it may appear between 6 and 30 years old. This mainly affects not only the leg but also the arms that cause severe muscle weakness. This disease attacks the insulation sheath surrounding the nerve, causing degeneration affecting the nerve, causing fainting and causing muscle weakness. Whatever form of neuralgia suffers, you must meet a healthcare provider. In this case, the neurologist will become an expert in selection. Next, we will try various tests to determine the definitive diagnosis. These tests include blood tests and urinalysis to determine if there is vitamin deficiency. There may also be an electromyogram (EMG) test to determine the individual's degree of muscle function. If necessary, spinal cord bellows can be done to determine if there is an infection. If it is judged that there is nerve injury, there is a possibility that the progression of the injury progresses further, but already damaged nerves do not regenerate. Therefore, it is imperative that individuals who present symptoms of neuralgia in any part of the body should take appropriate measures to prevent further nerve damage.
