What is nerve pain?
Your nervous system is a complex network of specialized cells. These cells send signals throughout your body so you can sense the world around you.
But sometimes, the nerves in your body may suffer damage. Injuries and illnesses sometimes cause nerve malfunctions and trigger debilitating nerve pain. Nerve pain can keep you from working or enjoying your favorite activities. Sometimes, these symptoms also lead to falls or other injuries.
What causes nerve pain?
At first, you may have trouble understanding the cause of your symptoms. But careful investigation can determine what’s behind your pain. At Edmond Norman Foot and Ankle, the team performs an in-depth exam. First, they collect information about your medical history. Next, they order specialized tests to assess nerve function in your feet and legs.
