Nerves are responsible for
controlling sensitivity and sensation in most parts of the
body.
Damaged nerves often
result in either loss of sensation or enhanced sensation such as
pain.
Nerve damage can arise
from inadequately performed surgery.

Nerve damage symptoms
Accidental nerve damage
is one of the most serious and painful things that can happen
to your body. It is debilitating. Sufferers may be unable to
work or indeed function as normal.
Symptoms of nerve damage
can include:
- Legs or arms feel heavy
- Difficulty lifting up foot or toes
- Difficulty picking up or holding objects, or
manipulating them in your hand
- Arm or leg feels like "pins and needles" or
are numb
- Cold feeling in arm or leg
- Burning or "electrical" feeling
Loss of sensation may
also lead to loss of function of the body part controlled by that
particular nerve or nerves.
Causes of nerve damage
Accidental nerve damage can be caused in many
ways:
- administration of certain toxic drugs
- direct physical damage due to the different
procedures including cutting, burning, stretching or
compression
- excessive force used to deliver a baby
leading to an injury in the brachial plexus
- excessive physical traction
- improper administration of anti blood
clotting drugs
- inadvertent injection of certain drugs into
or around the surrounding area of a nerve
- insufficient blood supply causing oxygen
starvation to the nerves
- direct compression to a nerve due to
application of a tourniquet
- blood pressure build up in the vicinity of a
nerve due to a damaged blood vessel.
- unwarranted nerve pressure due to improper
positioning of the body during a surgical operation
