Inexplicable Pain

You may be struggling with inexplicable nerve pain that is difficult to stop. You may have experienced an accident, disease, or degeneration of vertebrae, or other factor that left you with acute or chronic nerve pain or nerve damage.

Nerve Pain Causes

• Nerve pain can be caused by nerves trapped by inflammation, from bones or muscles.
• Some nerves are so damaged that they do not grow back once they have died and nerve pain can build over time or come on suddenly.
• Western medicine approaches nerve pain as it does many other ailments, by prescribing drugs and surgery. Although these approaches offer fixes (many of them temporary) the main cause is rarely targeted. Many of the drugs have unpleasant side effects which of ten make them impossible for a person to take.

Referred Pain

• Referred pain is when pain appears in a different place than the cause this is common with nerve pain- for example ;-
• The nerve can become trapped by degeneration of a cervical (neck) vertebra and pain could be in the shoulder and arm and tingling in hand
• Also commonly happens from the lumber and  sacrum (Lower back) causing pain in buttock leg and feet – often with tingling – sciatica

Types of Nerves and Their Pain Symptoms

• Different types of nerves can present painful symptoms at any time for a variety of reasons.
• Much nerve pain comes from a continued action such as daily computer keyboard use, sports activity or in-line factory work. This is called Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). Nerve damage examples of RSI can be carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis or sciatica.
• Other factors that may play a role in nerve pain or nerve damage include: trauma, disease, medication, or a congenital predisposition.

• Results of a small study addressing CIPN published in the British Medical Journal showed that,
• “In those given acupuncture, both the speed and the intensity of the nerve signalling improved in five out of the six patients. And these same patients said their condition had improved.” (Science Daily 12/6/11)
