Nerve damage and repair

[@phuck12]

I had been diagnosed with GERD, Laryngopharyngeal Reflux, Esophagitis, Hiatal Hernia and Antral Gastropathy. My only concerning symptom in the first place is burning in my throat, mouth, nose and ears. Endoscopy showed that my esophageal sphincter isnt tight, hence the reflux. Was prescribed Omeprazole (acid suppressing drug) but i really had a bad reaction. I started having constant sharp pains and electric sensation on my foot, then it progressed to all over my body, including my mouth and teeth, muscles are very soft/flaccid but no pains on my neck and head. I had the EMG/NCS test done and i regret it so much. Been buzzed with electric shocks all over my body, but when it came to the needle part, the physiatrist punctured diff. locations on the back of my neck, stirred the needle around the muscles and all went downhill from then on. I now have pains on my neck, shoulders and head, painful bloating, burping, difficulty breathing and bowel issues soon followed. Its been over a year now, still suffering. I don't know if the nerves been triggered, cut/severed during the procedure. I'm just worried because I'm thin and ALL my muscles are very soft, I mean I can literally feel my bones (when pressed) and its so painful. I don't know what other things thats been punctured in my neck. Other than reflux, I have other gastro symptoms I never had before the EMG. I wonder if my gastro symptoms has something to do with my neck. EMG/NCV test result: probable Cervical Radiculopathy, Bilateral (C8T1) acute partial denervation. Double Crush Syndrome bilateral. Sural Neuropathy bilateral with myelinopathic changes.

I had surgery 3 weeks ago for herniated disc l5 with removal of a synovial cyst there too. I previously to surgery had butt, groin, hip and lower calf pain. These have gone away, but a week 1/2 ago went I get up first thing I have pain in my ankle whereas cannot put heel down for 15-20 minutes. I think this is residual nerve pain and have something I take before bed, but still have it every morning. All else is good and I hope eventually the nerve will repair itself. Just checking with you after watching you video.

[@letiinijicheese]

but if you're interested in theories, before my accident i had the feeling to wear my helmet but my heart had a bad feeling and i didn't grab it and when trying to pull down my seat belt from the side by side it wouldn't even nudge, but to the point when i was in the hospital had pulled my cardiac artery and was about to bleed out intentionally, they gave me a MRI scan and they found that i had a hyperactive thyroid which explained a lot of things of why i was so emotional and unstable.. So look into the Nova theory because i believed it happened to me, and at a young age I had this accident , Feb 2, 2018 , I had just turned 14.

My acupuncture put a needle too far into my ankle and i fear i have permanent nerve damage. This incident happened a year ago and it was very painful when it first happened, felt like a lightning bolt shoot down my leg. I couldn’t walk for a month until the acupuncture doctor told me to force stretch my leg even if it hurt excruciatingly. The pain on my heel went away but one year later and now my toes and bottom of my foot are numb. I have no idea what to do or how to handle this situation. I fear that the puncture to the nerve and the malpracticed advice to stretch permanently wrapped my nerve between my foot. Is there any way to repair or fix this or am i doomed for pain control for the rest of my life? I’ve never been this depressed in my life for i fear the worst. I have not been able to walk for the last three weeks comfortably.

[@DrinkBluFrog]

Do you think a doctor should be able to specify all this with an EMG? If not an EMG, what tests would have to be performed to get the details on the exact type of nerve damage? I’ve got a brachial plexus nerve damage problem that I’ve been dealing with for about 10 months, it was only recently diagnosed correctly when I made the issue a hundred times worse while stretching and my lost function and sensation in my left arm. My doctor did an EMG and noted some damage to the upper plexus and said she saw signs that it was recovering from an injury that appeared to be 6-12 months old and there was no need for further treatment other than to stay active with therapy. I feel like this was a really unsatisfactory experience as I don’t feel safe at the gym but I can’t live with the atrophy of the affected muscles so I do my best to target them in spite of fact that they don’t cooperate well, fatigue extremely fast, and are extremely painful. I know you can’t give medical advice on my circumstances but hypothetically would a doctor be able to find all this out to give me a more detailed prognosis than damage to the upper plexus? I feel like the fact that I lost function and experience so much pain that saying it’s getting better doesn’t make much sense. It’s hard to believe, it feels like a pressing issue that needs to be addressed not something I just let heal as I don’t feel like I’m improving the way they think I am.

[@DrSimonFreilich]

Hi Luis - it sounds like you'd be best off seeing an experienced orthopaedic shoulder surgeon with the EMG results.They are well placed in their understanding of the anatomy, movement and physical therapy needs of what is a very complex joint and often work in liaison with physio's to address the rehab needs of those affected with conditions such as yours. An EMG result in isolation isn't helpful to patients and is one of the main reasons that I don't accept direct self-referrals. Bw Simon

Hello Dr. Freilich I had right L5-S1disc herniation about 13 months ago with radiculopathy (which evolved during these 9 pro-op months). 4 Months ago I decided to have a microdiscectomy on that disc. The symtopms that I have is foot numbness mainly in the balls of the toes. It becomes irritated and sore when walking or applying a lot of pressure in this area. The whole foot feels "going away" or "not there" when I put closed shoes and start walking for a distance. Also I cannot sit in certain positions for long periods of time as I get flairups. It seems to be very slowly improving but It doesn't resolve to the point that it's not annoying and bothering me anymore. How can I assess my nerve root damage and what is the recovery for such an injury? Will/can the nerve regain it's conduction let's say 90% in the next 6 months? If so what are the indications for that? Thank you Toda raba!

Hi Roey, lumbar levels of injury often take a couple of years to resolve. It sounds- in the grand scheme of things- not too bad (yes, very easy for me to say) given that you've only got numbnes and not weakness as well which is a positive thing.

what are the possibilities of nerve damage during laminectomy surgery? Because after laminectomy surgery I got a new numbness and drop foot.

[@DrSimonFreilich]

Hi Harsha, this is a difficult question to answer because few surgeons have the confidence to publish their complication rates, and even those who do, can have varying definitions of deficits, severity, duration and recovery. Having said that,I have found data suggesting a range of about 5-6%. The other aspect to consider is the risk of foot drop from not operating. Generally, any surgery carries risks and the decision to operate needs to take into account the balance between taking action and inaction. From my experience, surgeons only decompress spines when they see evidence that they really need to, and when it does happen, there is usually no obvious reason/cause identified when they look in to it. Hope that helps and wishing you better, Simon

Hi Jose, unfortunately, spinal cord tissue doesn't repair or have the same capacity for regrowth as peripheral nerve tissue. This is very much the 'holy grail' of rehab research. There seems to be an 'off switch' that is triggered when we are still very young, that halts this ability.

Hi, it's now accepted that as a rare drug reaction, ciprofloxacin can cause these symptoms as a presentation of a peripheral neuropathy. The general advice is to discontinue taking it (you'll need to see your doctor re a replacement for whatever reason it was prescribed) and usually it settles by itself. There are no obvious reasons to predispose it occurring, and no specific treatments other than letting the body settle things down. Hope that helps, bw Simon

Hi Dr. Simon. I have fell down on my knee twice 6 years ago and few days later I realized my knee is numb and painful. I was assessed by doctors and they conducted nerve tests and didn't find anything. Now the nerve pain comes at the interior knee side near the patella when I have hot shower or when exposed to extreme cold temperatures. It itches sometimes and goes away but still comes back when exposed to hot water or hot shower or extreme cold temperatures. Could there be a surgical fix for tgat problem?

[@DrSimonFreilich]

Hi, no I don't think so and wouldn't suggest anyone goes down that sort of route. Bw Simon

My surgeon cut/severed the subcostal nerve during robotic surgery for a flank hernia repair, is there any hope for me?

[@DrSimonFreilich]

Hi Sharon, I can't answer a question like that in a web chat but the region should be scanned (if not already done so). Bw Simon

[@Sharon-pb7so]

@@DrSimonFreilich My surgery was almost 5 weeks ago. My surgeon said he cut the subcostal nerve. Can you tell me exactly what kind of doctor I should go to for help? Thanks so much for your help.

[@happyshocker6276]

@@Sharon-pb7so The one who operated! Sometimes there can be things left behind or collections etc that can cause this, and so the nerve may not necessarily be cut. Always worth a scan just in case..

[@Sharon-pb7so]

@@happyshocker6276 He told me he cut it and apologized. I'm not going back to him. The nerve was totally severed. He knew he cut it and didn't try to fix it right away. I don't trust him now.

How can I help keep what little, living nerve cells I have, living? I had a really bad car accident in 2013 and I've had nerve damage after extensive damage(non spinal). I've been wear an AFO ever since to help me walk, but I want to say my sensation in my damaged leg is increasing. Should I schedule an EMG?

[@DrSimonFreilich]

Hi, I'm not sure I understand it all correctly but given that you've had the accident in 2013, any nerve recovery that could have occurred, will have occurred by now, so not sure what the benefit of having the tests would be. Best wishes though, Simon

My tibial nerve and peroneal nerve have no responce Is there any surgery or repair of nerve?

[@DrSimonFreilich]

Hi Atif, depends on circumstances and causes. If a Sciatic injury then I have dedicated videos regarding that. Bw Simon

[@atifzulfiqar1403]

@@DrSimonFreilich Thanks for your reply. No there is no injury. This was history of one week fever. And after that my legs movement is zero. Diagnosed Tibial and peroneal nerve absent responce.

[@DrSimonFreilich]

Clearly that's a finding and not a diagnosis! You'll need to discuss it in greater detail with your local medical team as to what they believe the cause to be and what treatment they propose. Best wishes, Simon

Hi Dr. Simon. Greetings from India. My daughter is going through Brachial Plexus. Emg shows severe but partial nerve damage. Some Dr suggest to operate and some thinks to wait. My daughter is just 4 months old, I really dont want to go for surgery at this age of her. kindly suggest. although, we have seen good inprovement in her gripping power and hand uplifting movements.

[@DrSimonFreilich]

Hi Amit, unfortunately, as with everyone else who asks, I cannot give you personal advice online, it's not safe medical practice to do so. But wish you and your daughter the very best with whatever you decide. Simon.

Sorry to hear that! Optic nerve problems are rare and though some what researches have been done on regenerating optic nerve using corticosteroids or stem cells, any treatment plan is very controversial. Hopefully more extensive study on our nervous system would bring more clarity and explanation for potential solutions in the future.
