- This video is all about what happens to nerve's that undergo lesional damage. #Wallerian degeneration is explained as well as the regeneration process. I'll show you what the #EMG of a regenerating nerve looks like at early, intermediate and late phases and hopefully you'll be able to appreciate the basis upon which we try and predict prognosis.

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.
Thanks. Dr. Simon
Great video
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.
i didnt have shingles just an infected cyst on my upper back which healed .but now i have this uncomfortable feeling on that spot on my back which sometimes feels like stabbing and burning. it dosent go away what could that be?
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.
You help me a lot dr Simon, thank you very much !
I snapped my arm in half from arm wrestling like half a year ago and my arm still hurts :(
Good work sir...
So I have pelvic pain and dont know why but I believe it is a nerve as nerve painkillers work, I have a burning, tingling feeling but initially it was an ache and the odd electric shock. I suspect the dorsel nerve/ pudendal nerve irritation due to constipation and cycling. Is it possible with rest that this could heal on it's own?
Any insight on on facial nerve pain, Trigeminal neuralgia? Had 2 rado-surgery and both failed.
I dropped a very sharp knife below my middle finger and I think I cut a nerve. It did bleed a lot and my hand went numb immediately but now just my middle finger is numb
i have also issue of my right eye Advanced Glaucoma and optic nerve has been damaged and Retinal detachment ... very old is there is any chance to restore vision..
Which scan can show nerve damage?
I had surgery a month ago and I still can't feel my chin and lower lip and even under my left eye I can feel pressure but not sensibility, any cure?

Thanks Dr. Simon. I am wondering if you could comment on how this relates to someone who has undergone a spinal lipoma removal. Does the nerve damage that has been irreversible, has a chance to become reversible?
Hi Jignesh, depends exactly where and also how bad it was compressing. Bw Simon
Hello Doctor Possible tell me what treatment is appropriate for nerve damage because tired of this disease please give me the solution
dear Dr. Simon, thank you for the video. I have had a venipuncture today in the medial cubital vein at the time of blood extraction it was mildly painful and after some time pain has gone, however I started later to feel like mild muscle spasm in my forearm specially my index finger was getting some spasms. could that be a nerve damage from the venipuncture? and if it was, will it go away? or it maybe something else ? knowing that there is no numbness nor tingling only this mild spasms and sometimes a very mild heaviness in the hand that comes and goes.
Hi, it's very unlikely that nerves were damaged. Why you are getting those symptoms I don't know but I'm sure they will go away with time. Bw Simon
Dr Simon Freilich Can’t thank you enough Dr. Simon 🙏
It's good
Well done :) helps alot
Thank you for this clear explanation. My surgeon damaged the femoral nerve while he was performing a hip replacement. My nerve pain is appalling... Will this last until the nerves have repaired?
Hi Cherie, that's a hard one to answer as it depends on what's happening to the nerve, will it be forming a neuroma, the mechanics of the other muscles etc. Wishing you all the best though and a full and speedy recovery! Simon
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am sure that you are a very busy man.

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. Hang in there, keep up the physio and healthy living and with more time you'll hopefully do well. Bw Simon
Hey Roe,how is your numbness now? I got fully same problems with u. Got the surgery 10 days ago.
@@DrSimonFreilich is it possible to not to have weakness with numbness
I think every numbness creates weakness

I donated blood last weekend.
Those nurses weren't careful enough(may be). I'm experiencing a deep pain whenever i try to move my arm around. There is also a dark blood shade beneath the skin.
I'm very much worried about the damage being made to my arm.😢😢😢. Will it heal or is it more permanent? ?
Edit: it's back to normal now after almost a month.
Something like this just happened to me. How are you doing now?
@@LolaJay_ it's okay now. But took a month to recover. It was painful for almost 14/15 days. Don't worry. It will get better.
Dear sir, kindly guide me in this matter.
EMG findings are suggestive of chronic neurogenic process of lateral and posterior cord distribution .
Recruitment in the affected muscle is fairly good. Clinical correlation is adviced
Hi, Unfortunately I can't provide advice to individuals. You'll have to speak to your referring doctor as the reportsuggested. Wishing you well though, best wishes Simon
Greetings Doctor, I had a venipuncture during a blood draw and I think the nurse hit a nerve. When I try to make certain movements with my arm , my lateral antebrachial part of my arm feels restricted. Will it heal?
Hi, I occasionally get these types of referrals but have yet to see overt damage. Usually these symptoms resolve with time (variable). Bw Simon
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.
Oh man, that's horrible Herman. Have you tried a nueropathologist?
Lizica Dumitru I’ve been to a neurologist and they performed an EMG. Unfortunately the result didn’t didn’t find anything to answer why I’m getting pins and needles, numbness, and strings moving. Idk what other tests i should take to make sure. This is still excruciating and I’m working with my primary on a work up to see if we can get this handled.
A bad dentist overdrilled my front tooth, now it's turning grey. Can anything be done/injected to help the nerve? What are some steps that I can take? Any success stories that you've heard? Would a B12 injection to the site help? If so, who would do that? Thank you,

Hi there, I had a gluteal IM injection 2 weeks ago of diclofenac. I have developed nerve pain in the left buttocks and radiating down the lateral side of the thigh. Could it be nerve damage from the chemicals, or nerve compression from scar tissue forming? I'm wondering what to do to help in either case. Thanks
Hi Natalie, you'll need to get yourself medically assessed. Bw Simon
It’s on my pointer finger I can’t take it!!
nice advises there DR.But allow me to also ask this what happens after nerve breaks from the spinal cord / and how do they take to recover?kindly suggest for some of the drugs that I can use meantime.thanks
Hi, unfortunately, at present there is no known cure for spinal cord injuries. Lots of efforts are being made to achieve this, and it's a matter of time. We know that the cells in the spinal cord are capable of growing, whilst we are babies but various 'switches' get thrown that stop this. We need to better understand these processes and then we can move treatment forward. In the meantime, physiotherapys are the way forward. Bw Simon
HI @@DrSimonFreilich HOW WILL I GO FORWARD BECAUSE RIGHT NOW AM UNABLE TO RAISE NOR HANDLE ANYTHING?WILL MY HAND REMAIN THIS FOREVER ?NO SURGARY CAN BE DONE TO A LIGHN THE NERVES? WHICH MEDICINE CAN I USE FOR THETIME BEING ?WILL THEY RECOVER THEMSELVES?AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE IF SO?.THANKS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO HERE FROM YOU.
Thanks for the video well done. Question I had a tumor removed from my spinal cord t10 t11 t12 three years ago left me with hardly any feelings from my waist down now I am able to walk with difficulty and pain and have spasms in my right leg still don’t have strength in my right foot but sensation is still coming back very very slowly I’ve done stems cells from my fatty tissue been going to the gym 3 to 4 times a week been taking supplements for nerve symptoms also acupuncture massage any thing else you can recommend Thanks in advance for any advice
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. As such, there is very little specific that can be recommended over and above a number of the types of treatments you describe. Bw Simon
Dr Simon Freilich thanks for your response I’ll keep fitting my fight
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.
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
Had a inguinal hernia op 2 years ago my scar is still sensitive and my inner thigh still quite numb and tender to touch will it get better
Hi Steven, unfortunately at this time point, v unlikely to improve. Might be worth discussing with a pain specialist if there might be any options. Bw Simon
I had sticky lock on my door and I constantly struggled to get it open. Now my index point finger is constantly tingly and a little numb. I think I might have nerve damage. Is there any recovery from that?
Have the same thing with my middle finger. I was closing a door and I slammed it on my finger somehow. Nail will bruise and turn blue/black. You'll feel the pulsating pain for a while but you can get used to it and it dissappears. Over time your nerves should heal thats the pulse like pain
If the phlebotomist hit a nerve in my arm while drawing blood and now my whole vein up and down my forearm has has hurt for two days. Did she hit a nerve and will it get better?
Hi, I see patients with this from time to time and it's almost never nerve damage per se. If concerned, seek medical attention. Bw Simon
what are the possibilities of nerve damage during laminectomy surgery? Because after laminectomy surgery I got a new numbness and drop foot.
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
Do nerves regenerate after s radio frequency ablation near facet joints?
Hi Anna, yes, they can regrow. When this happens, it tends to occur over 1-2 years. Bw Simon
4 weeks into a compression never injury ( upper left arm). I have good tricep control and strength (this came back only days after the injury), No motor control of the bicep with at least 50% reduce feeling. Rest of the arm has zero motor control. Wrist has no control. Hand no control, little finger and thump have very little sensation.
Any advice is very much appreciated.
What do I need?
The NHS is basically doing nothing due to the virus. Video call once every two weeks with a physio.
Sorry to hear of this but the NHS is very much gearing up again for covid safe outpatient activities. Sounds like you'd benefit from seeing your Consultant for reassessment and quite probably a colleague neurophysiologist. I'm sure you'll be prioritised but it can help if you call your local department to check availability. Bw Simon

Thanks for the reply. That is encouraging, hopefully get a face to face appointment soon.
Hey I had a nerve root compression /spinal stenosis. I was diagnosed with C5 palsy prior to C4-5-6 ACDF surgery. After my surgery my pain is gone away but deltoid and bicep weakness continues.. kind of similar to your injury it seems like.. I was wondering if you recovered or not.

I sustained a severed ulnar nerve injury at wrist level 27 yrs.ago. I had surgery about six months later. I recovered opposition movement, that is I can touch with my little finger extended all fingers'tips fully extended as well. I have all my strength while closing the fist. I lost the ablility to close all fingers namely the annular and middle fingers. Suffered muscle waste as well. Stating all the above how could I assess my recovering? Thank you Doctor.
Thanks, a very good question. Clearly, you're recovery has not been full and that's often the case with any significant injury. There are many different aspects that can be measured. The most common aspects are as follows: nerves can be assessed via nerve conduction tests, strength via a variety of strain gauges (dynamometery), functional impact via questionnaires etc. Bw Simon

Dear Doctor. I’m currently suffering from peripheral nerve issues as a result of a reaction to Ciprofloxacin. I’ve been tingling for a few days now. Is this likely to settle down?
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 Deza, this isn't a self help video, just the biology pertinent to neurophysiology. This video was never intended to for a wide audience but somehow seems to be popular with RUclips. Bw 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.
No repairs here
im pretty sure you need to fast to trigger autophagy your body will eat up the damaged cells for energy and then replace them.
@@Batx00091 is this effective way? Any research about it ?
I stopped eating meat and fish for a year now and after a year I started to have blur vision and pain and stiffness in the leg and knees and till now am having the pain . Please can you suggest any treatment
Have a good day 😀
Eat animal protein
You need to check yourself for b vitamins especially b12
You are deficient more than likely
Doctors tell you that hundred fifty to two hundred and b12 testing is good don't believe them that you need to be up to 700 -1100 that's how you get fooled by Pharmacy system
Seryoga Gvronskiy thanks very much my friend I really appreciate

Please watch diagnosing and treating b12 deficiency on RUclips

Hi, this isn't a self help video in any way shape or form, rather the biological process as pertinent to what neurophysiologists see and assess. So yes, this is not for you! Wishing you well though, Simon

Again, not real medical advice. Go away.
