PINS AND NEEDLES LEFT SIDE OF BODY SKIN

Neuropathic pain is often worse at night, seriously disrupting sleep and adding to the emotional burden of sensory nerve damage. Neuropathic pain is difficult to control and can seriously affect emotional well-being and overall quality of life. Symptoms are related to the type of affected nerve and may be seen over a period of days, weeks, or years. Peripheral neuropathy produces symptoms such as weakness, muscle cramps, twitching, pain, numbness, burning, and tingling (often in the feet and hands).

Occupational neuropathies: Industrial and athletic injuries to nerves such as the stinger in football result in arm weakness and tingling.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): Gehrig’s disease, a disorder of the motor nerves resulting in progressive weakness of the limbs, facial and respiratory muscles, is the most serious of the neuromuscular disorders.

Ulnar neuropathies are also included as a type of mononeuropathy.

Mononeuropathies: Isolated numbness of the hands brought on by excessive keyboard work may be identified as carpal tunnel syndrome, also a treatable problem.

Early evaluation with laboratory studies may uncover potentially treatable disease such as diabetes and vitamin B12 deficiency.

Diabetic neuropathies: Tingling in the feet may be caused by a peripheral neuropathy.

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIPD).

In the early 1900s, Guillain, Barre´, and Strohl first described the syndrome in 2 patients who spontaneously recovered from a progressive ascending motor weakness with areflexia, paresthesias, sensory loss, and an elevated level of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein. An acute, ascending, and progressive neuropathy characterized by weakness, paresthesias, and hyporeflexia.

Guillain-Barre´ Strohl Syndrome: Since the polio vaccine came into widespread use, GBS has become the most common remaining cause of acute neuromuscular paralysis.

Examples of peripheral nerve disorders include:

Pain receptors in the skin can also become over-sensitized, so that people may feel severe pain from stimuli that are normally painless (for example, some may experience pain from bed sheets draped lightly over the body). Peripheral neuropathy involves damage to the peripheral nerves that transmit pain and temperature sensations, and can prevent people from sensing that they have been injured from a cut or that a wound is becoming infected. Rather, the disease causes varying degrees of weakness, depending on the type and severity of the neuropathy. It can cause paralysis if a nerve is completely lacerated, although total paralysis is rare in people with neuropathy.

Neuropathy is a disorder that prevents nerves from functioning properly. The other components of this peripheral system are the neuromuscular junction where the nerve meets the muscle and the muscle itself. Motor nerves carry bioelectrical information to muscle, resulting in contraction and movement. Information regarding the environment such as hot, cold, and the position of our pen are carried on sensory nerves. These nerves are considered the peripheral nervous system. Incoming and outgoing information travel in the nerves of the arm similar to a telephone wire. The brain and spinal cord are considered the central nervous system. Similar discomfort may be brought on by sleeping on an arm or leg in a funny position.

Many of us have experienced severe burning, numbness, and tingling after hitting our “funny bone.” This is caused by trauma to the ulnar nerve at the elbow.
