Peripheral nerve injuries refer to damage or harm to the nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord, which are called peripheral nerves.

These injuries can result from various causes such as trauma, accidents, medical conditions, or surgery. When peripheral nerves are injured, it can lead to symptoms like numbness, weakness, pain, or loss of function in the affected body part.

Dr P Prakash, best Plastic Surgeon in Hitech City, Hyderabad will go through your medical history, inquire about any accidents or past surgeries, and about your symptoms. He will also perform a physical and neurological assessment.

If the neurological examination reveals indications of a nerve injury, doctor might suggest diagnostic tests, which could include:

  • Electromyography (EMG)
  • Nerve conduction study
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Ultrasound
  • The kind and severity of your nerve injury will determine the treatment. You might need pain-relief medications like aspirin or ibuprofen, or even medications for depression, seizures, or sleep problems if you have nerve pain. Sometimes, corticosteroid injections can be used for pain relief.

    If your nerve is healing well, you might not need surgery. You may have to rest the injured area until it heals. Nerves take a long time to recover, and it might take many months or even years for you to get better.

    Dr. Prakash, Specialist in Cosmetic Surgery and Plastic Surgery may also suggest physical therapy to prevent stiffness and regain function.
