Avatar n tn When did the sneeze occur? I have a similar issue. If you've had the nerve damage for 20 years, whatever nerve damage exists is probably permanent. I've been told that nerves heal at a rate of about 1/2 inch per month, so for the sciatic nerve, you are looking at up to 2 years for recovery. After that, what you have is what you have. Now, that assumes that your problem is entirely resulting from the nerve damage. I don't know what type of strengthening you've tried.

Avatar f tn Hagan, Like various other people here, I also suffered complete vision loss in my left eye due to optic nerve damage in an accident 8 years back.
664710 tn?1226929596 Hello everyone. Sometimes I feel like I ask the same questions in different ways in an attempt to better understand what's going on with this MS. Here's my question. Does nerve damage occur ONLY when there are lesions in the brain or spinal cord or is nerve damage part of the package with MS regardless? I hope everyone is as well as they can be!
Avatar f tn what does it mean when you have a small disc protrusion L5-Sr.
Avatar f tn I have recently had an MRI scan and the report has indicated that I have a L5/S1 circumferential disc bulge whih displaces the exiting L5 nerve roots bilaterally.. On the left this effaces the perineural fate and contacts the L5 nerve root. A neurosurgeon has apparently reviewed my scan and said there is no evidence of this disc bulge without even seeing me and suggested tertherd cord syndrome should be investigated..
Avatar m tn i have had done mri scan done it shows one small disc is moved but doctor said to me is not worth to operate he recommend massage of spine and back muscles.my gp will send me to neurology to check nerve system but im still concern about doctors in uk .
Avatar n tn they done ct scan mri and cervical mylegram n said i have narrowing in neck . they are doing an emg tuesday and im spose to see a surgeon . i dont know if therapy or what they will do from there.
Avatar f tn I had an updated mri after my original cat scan and mri was done in 2014. My former neurologist and the PA working with my primary doctor orginially said that I had a spot on my brain. I think they were confused about the pituitary gland area because that is the area that they have been discussing most recently. Fast forward to most recently. Updated mri and Chairi 1 is diagnosed.
Avatar f tn Was back at the hospital this morning they hav diagnosed post traumatic parasympathetic nerve damage after falling and have advised physiotherpy. I have insisted on an mri scan.
Avatar m tn t like the day light i see lots of floaters and flashes on the computer screen from time to time and and have chronic confusion and slowed mental thinking i forget what time it is i have to look at the clock to remember all i can do is lay in bed about 60 to 70% of the time i went to the er and had blood work and had a cat scan done of my brain about a month ago and all came back clear im not sure if i need a different kind of scan such as a mri,pet or spect scan?
Avatar n tn I have had an issue with not being able to wake up and being so exhausted all day for 3 years. I feel like I never went to bed. The EMG shows nerve damage correct? I have a lot of family who live close to me. I don't go to college anymore. I couldn't make it through an entire class. I spend all day with my 5 year old. I lay awake while he sleeps and love on him and just look at him.
Avatar n tn Neuropathy of the lower extremities is more often a result of some compromise of the large nerve in the lumbar spine (sciatic nerve). The fact that you had complete loss of feeling right after your accident could be related to the traumatic impact and some contusion or bruising of the area, Considering that the numbness has continued for such a long time, it may be appropriate to obtain a neurological consult to determine if any compromise of the nerves exists.
Avatar m tn Remyelination (repair of the damaged covering of the nerve) is a pretty slow process. Some lesions hang around for years. The lesions show up on T2 and FLAIR sequences of the MRI. The GAD contrast that is used in brain imaging will enhance "new" lesions that are about 40 days or newer on the T1 sequences. The other thing that shows up on the T1 sequences is "Black Holes" or areas of nerve axon damage.
Avatar f tn Would it show damage?I had an accident and had a good cat scan - does the optic never show on it?
Avatar m tn Pain started about 3 years ago and upto about the last 6 months has become a bit more manageable but has never fully healed. Doctoers did a bunch of test until they finally found that I had nerve damage in the C5, C6, C7 vertabrae. Is this something I should continue to check out?
Avatar n tn Goal is to relive swelling in brain and around nerve. MRI are done to see if there is pressure on the optic nerve especially from skull fracture, if so neurosurgery is done to try and remove pressure from skull bones. Remember all his life the OTHER eye is the most important eye and everything must be done to protect it from injury or disease.
Avatar m tn Went to doctor and was diagnosed with nerve damage in left ear. She said come back in 6th months, test again and then possibly do an MRI if not better. I looked at her and said it won't be better. Anyway she went on to say that basically there wasn't anything she could do for nerve damage. Is this really the case? Am I over-reacting? Am I to just "tough" it out? Thanks for thoughts and responses.
Avatar n tn Hi, Permanent nerve damage can be diagnosed by nerve conduction studies, CT and MRI studies. For the pain, different kinds of pain relievers can be used, as well as some drugs which are used in the treatment of depression or seizures. For the inability of movement that you currently have, physical therapy will help to some extent. Do come back with other queries that you have.
