Nerve Pain Explained




 
 

7.Nerve Pain Progression
Left untreated, nerve damage may worsen over time. It can sometimes start in the nerves farthest from the brain and spinal cord — like those in the feet and hands. Then it may move up into the legs and arms. However, if you get treatment for the medical condition causing the nerve damage, you may be able to stop the damage — and even reverse it.

 

8.Assessing Your Pain
In many cases, nerve pain may be controlled. Start by getting an assessment at the doctor’s office. Be ready to answer questions. How long have you had pain? What does it feel like? How does it affect you? The answers will help your doctor figure out what’s causing your pain and how to treat it.
