Damaging Nerves
Damaging your nerve cells can be very dangerous, and once they are damaged, some nerves can never repair. The cells that are unable to repair are in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Peripheral nerves, however, can be repaired but at a very slow rate.
How can Damaged Nerves Affect Our Quality of Life?
There are different ways each nerve cell could affect the body when damaged. Some damages can greatly affect the quality of life while others don't cause much at all.
Autonomic Nerves
Autonomic nerve damage can cause various symptoms. It could lead to lightheadedness, dry eyes and mouth, constipation, either too much or too little sweating, and inability to sense chest pain, such as a heart attack.
Motor Nerves
The symptoms of damaged nerve cells are weakness, twitching, muscle atrophy, paralysis.
Sensory Nerves
Pain, sensitivity, numbness, tingling or prickling, burning, and problems with positional awareness are all affects of damage to you sensory nerve cells.
Central Nervous System
Damaging your central nervous system is very dangerous. If you were to break your spinal cord it could result in you being paralyzed from the location of the break down.
