There are tens of thousands of nerves in your body. They play a very important role, serving as the body’s wiring system. Their main task is to carry messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
To help carry the messages properly, each nerve has small fibres bundled inside it, covered by an outer layer that insulates and protects them. However, at times, nerves become damaged.
There are many possible causes of nerve damage. It can be due to too much pressure on a particular nerve, caused by stretching, a cut, or a muscle tear.
Other causes and contributing factors include:
- Diabetes
- Repetitive motion
- Lyme disease
