When a nerve is pinched-whether from repetitive strain or physical trauma-the normal flow of signals becomes disrupted, leading to symptoms that include numbness, tingling, and pain.
4 days ago · In cases of nerve damage or disease, the structure of nerve cells (neurons) and their supporting tissues may deteriorate. This can result in the loss of axons (nerve fibres) or damage to the myelin sheath (the protective covering around nerve fibres), compromising nerve conductivity and function.
