About Neuritis

Neuritis is not a procedure but a medical condition involving inflammation of one or more nerves, leading to pain, numbness, weakness, or loss of function. A neurologist's role is to diagnose and manage this condition through a comprehensive evaluation. This involves a detailed neurological examination, patient history review, and often diagnostic tests like nerve conduction studies (NCS) or electromyography (EMG) to assess nerve function and pinpoint the affected area. Treatment is tailored to the underlying cause, which may include medications like corticosteroids or antivirals, pain management, physical therapy, and addressing any systemic diseases. The goal is to reduce inflammation, manage symptoms, and promote nerve recovery, preventing long-term damage.

Key Highlights

    Accurate diagnosis of nerve inflammation and its underlying cause.Personalized treatment plan to reduce pain and inflammation.Prevention of long-term nerve damage and disability.Non-surgical management approach focused on symptom relief and recovery.Multidisciplinary care coordination, potentially involving pain specialists or physical therapists.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistent or severe pain, tingling (paresthesia), or numbness along a nerve pathway.
  • Muscle weakness or paralysis in a specific area supplied by the affected nerve.
  • Suspected autoimmune disorders like Guillain-Barré syndrome or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
  • Nerve inflammation due to infections (e.g., shingles, Lyme disease).
  • Compression neuropathies or nerve damage from trauma.
  • Symptoms suggesting diabetic neuropathy or other metabolic causes.

How to prepare

  • Compile a detailed list of all symptoms, their onset, and progression.
  • Bring a complete list of current medications, supplements, and allergies.
  • Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to facilitate the neurological examination.
  • For tests like EMG/NCS, avoid applying lotions or oils to the skin on the day of the test.
  • Be prepared to discuss personal and family medical history in detail.

Risks & possible complications

  • Diagnostic tests like EMG may cause temporary discomfort, bruising, or minor bleeding.
  • Potential side effects from prescribed medications (e.g., gastrointestinal issues with NSAIDs, mood changes with certain neuropathic pain drugs).
  • Risk of incomplete symptom relief or chronic pain.
  • Progression to permanent nerve damage or muscle atrophy if not properly managed.
  • Complications from underlying conditions causing the neuritis.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Recovery varies widely based on cause and severity; some cases resolve in weeks, others are chronic.
  • Strict adherence to prescribed medication regimens for inflammation and pain control.
  • Engagement in prescribed physical or occupational therapy to maintain strength and function.
  • Management of underlying conditions (e.g., blood sugar control in diabetes).
  • Regular follow-up with the neurologist to monitor progress and adjust treatment.
  • Lifestyle modifications, such as ergonomic adjustments and a balanced diet, to support nerve health.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: Typically outpatient (0 days)
  • checked Expected recovery time: Varies widely from 2-3 weeks to several months or chronic management

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.
