Symptoms of Nerve Injuries

Nerve damages tend to be tricky in terms of recognition of an injury. While some accident victims will feel significant pain after the injury, others will feel slight pain to none at all. The nervous system plays an enormous role in the bodys overall function. When any action, either voluntary or involuntary, takes place, an electric signal is sent through the nervous system. When an injury compromises the nervous systems ability to perform its job, the result can be debilitating.

The following are some of the most common signs of nerve damage:

  • Twitching
  • Muscle atrophy
  • Weakness
  • Burning
  • Spasms
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Lightheadedness
  • Dry mouth and/or eyes
  • Positional awareness problems
  • Pain
  • Lack of bladder control
  • Paralysis
  • Sensitivity
  • Heavy sweating
  • Unable to sweat
  • Constipation
  • Tingling

These symptoms above combine motor nerve damage, autonomic nerve damage, and sensory nerve damage. While accident victims likely experience symptoms in one of these three categories, it is possible for people to experience multiple symptoms. Because some of these signs take several days to appear, all accident victims must seek medical care immediately following an accident.
