About Nerve Disorder

A nerve disorder, also known as neuropathy, refers to a range of conditions affecting the peripheral nervous system, the network of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. A neurologist diagnoses and manages these disorders, which can result from diabetes, infections, autoimmune diseases, trauma, or genetic factors. Symptoms vary widely and may include numbness, tingling, pain, muscle weakness, and coordination problems. Diagnosis involves a detailed neurological examination, nerve conduction studies, electromyography (EMG), and sometimes blood tests or imaging. Treatment is tailored to the underlying cause and may include medications for pain relief, physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and in some cases, surgical interventions to relieve nerve compression. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to prevent permanent nerve damage and improve quality of life.

Key Highlights

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent numbness, tingling (paresthesia), or burning sensations in the hands or feet.
  • Unexplained muscle weakness, cramps, or twitching (fasciculations).
  • Sharp, jabbing, or throbbing nerve pain (neuralgia).
  • Loss of coordination, balance problems, or frequent stumbling.
  • Symptoms associated with conditions like diabetes, shingles, autoimmune diseases (e.g., Guillain-Barré syndrome), or vitamin deficiencies.
  • History of trauma, repetitive stress, or nerve compression (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome).
  • Autonomic symptoms like dizziness, abnormal sweating, or digestive issues linked to nerve dysfunction.

How to prepare

  • Compile a detailed medical history, including all symptoms, their duration, and any known underlying conditions.
  • Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, and allergies.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to the consultation and any diagnostic tests.
  • For tests like EMG, avoid using lotions or oils on the skin on the day of the procedure.
  • Follow specific instructions regarding fasting or medication adjustments if blood tests are planned.
  • Be prepared to discuss lifestyle factors such as alcohol consumption and diet.

Risks & possible complications

  • Diagnostic procedures like EMG may cause temporary discomfort, bruising, or minor bleeding at the needle site.
  • Medications (e.g., for pain or seizures) can have side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, or gastrointestinal issues.
  • Potential for incomplete pain relief or symptom management.
  • Progression of the underlying condition despite treatment.
  • Rare risks from specific interventions, such as infection or nerve injury from a nerve block or surgical procedure.
  • Adverse reactions to contrast dye if advanced imaging is required.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Recovery is highly variable and depends on the specific disorder and treatment. Many management plans are long-term.
  • For diagnostic tests, normal activities can typically be resumed immediately.
  • Post-procedure care for therapeutic injections may involve resting the area and applying ice.
  • Adherence to prescribed medication schedules and physical therapy exercises is critical.
  • Regular follow-up appointments with the neurologist to monitor progress and adjust treatment.
  • Implementing lifestyle changes such as maintaining optimal blood sugar levels (for diabetic neuropathy), a balanced diet, and regular gentle exercise.
  • Managing pain through prescribed techniques and avoiding activities that exacerbate symptoms.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0 days (typically outpatient) to 3-5 days (for complex cases or surgery)
  • checked Expected recovery time: Varies widely; from ongoing management for chronic conditions to several weeks/months post-surgical intervention

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
