Often referred to by the patient as “having a trapped nerve” the altered sensation can range from mild to severe and become very painful. Often patients can drop things and become irritable at their loss of ability to feel things.

Nerves are divided into 2 main sections.

• Input (sensory) these nerves convey messages and information to the brain via the spinal cord. Touch, temperature, vibration, pain etc
• Output (Motor) these nerves transfer messages to skeletal muscles and make the muscles operate. Movement, and reflexes are a demonstration of the motor nerves.

Should you have a muscle weakness or wasting then the motor nerves would be affected. If you lose feeling in your toes or have pins and needles in your fingers then it is likely that your sensory nerves have been affected.

If you develop neurological symptoms then you must get checked out quickly. Other causes of nerve damage or impingement could be tumors, degenerative neurological disease, diabetes, brain damage, stroke and many more.
