Ever felt a strange tingling, burning, or stabbing pain in your shoulder, hand, or foot? It might be more than a muscle pull. These could be signs of a peripheral nerve injury — something we treat every day at 21st Century Pain Management. Whether you’re in Sugar Land or Pearland, we’re here to help you get back to feeling your best.
What is a Peripheral Nerve Injury?
Your body has a network of nerves that branch out from the spine and travel to your arms, hands, legs, and feet. These are called peripheral nerves. If any of these nerves are stretched, compressed, or damaged, you may feel pain, weakness, or even lose sensation.
What Causes Peripheral Nerve Injury in the Shoulder, Arm, Hand, Leg, or Foot?
- Direct trauma or accidents
- Repetitive movements (e.g., typing, lifting)
- Diabetes (can damage peripheral nerves)
- Herniated disc or spinal conditions
- Prolonged pressure on a nerve
Common Symptoms of Peripheral Nerve Injury
Depending on the affected body part, you may experience:
- Burning or shooting pain
- Tingling or “pins and needles”
