Question 1

tingling in both feet ,left hand feels weak and drops thing on its own constant ringing in ear and prickly sensation in back of head could this be undetected diabetes from nerve damage ? im 29 and symptoms have got worse over a 5-6 year period?

Accepted Answer

: Diabetes can be the cause for neuropathy but only when the disease is obvious and has been detected/ present for 10-20 years. Your symptoms are likely due to some other neurological disorder which should be further investigated by your PCP or with opinion from a Neurologist.
Good luck

Question 2

what parts of the mouth/face are usually affected with nerve damage after a wisdom tooth extraction?

Accepted Answer

: The inferior alveolar nerve[lingual nerve] and the trigeminal nerve. The complications consist of pain, a numbness and tingling sensation in your chin, gums, lower lip, teeth and tongue. The damage can be prolonged or temporary.

Question 3

my doctor prescribed nortriptyline 25 mg to take by mouth at bedtime for brain/ nerve damage. is this effective?

Accepted Answer

FX of nortrip: This medicine helps make irritated nerves feel better.  It is often used for neuropathy, headache prevention and after concussions.  Its side effects are normally dry mouth, sleepiness, and sometimes dizziness.

Question 4

what do you suggest if my doctor prescribed nortriptyline 25 mg to take by mouth at bedtime for brain/ nerve damage.?

Accepted Answer

Take it: i would suggest you take it as prescribed. it could have been prescribed for pain depression or sleep. talk to your doctor about what it is, what it is for and what to expect.

Question 5

could there be any connection between vagus nerve damage and burning/pins and needles feeling in face (around mouth and nose/lower forehead area) ?

Accepted Answer

Not really: The short answer is "no." the sensory function of the vagus nerve has no relationship to facial or oral structures. The closest that the vagus nerve comes to any function in that region of the body would have to do mainly with the cough reflex. Trigeminal nerve dysfunction more likely causing symptoms you mentioned. I notice that gbs is listed under "conditions."is that currently or in the past?

Question 6

what are some signs that nerve damage in the head is progressing?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends on the area of the brain or spinal cord involved and the severity of the involvement. There are numerous possible answers to your question.

Question 7

how to know if i have nerve damage from my tongue piercing and what do i do about it?

Accepted Answer

See details: First of all, remove the tongue stud. It causes a major issue for dental damage and infection of the tongue. Describe your symptoms and possible one can state if nerve damage is possible.

Question 8

can nerve damage affect the whole body, i have a weird (tightening sensation) that affects my head, mostly aggravated in cold weather. ?

Accepted Answer

Cold sensitivity: On the first question yes - nerves can effect the whole body, but your descripation does not seem to fill that bill. Tightening around the head with cold weather makes me think of muscle contractions. Try a muscle relaxant per your M.D. See if it clears. I like Fioracet for muscle contraction hadaches. If it doesn't clear see a neurologist? Not enough info here for a more specific diagnosis...

Question 9

help, what to do about nerve damage on the tongue?

Accepted Answer

See an Oral Surgeon: If the genesis of the nerve damage was a surgical procedure performed recently, get back to that healthcare provider for an evaluation.

Question 10

does nerve damage in neck cause swishing sound when turn head?

Accepted Answer

Probably Not: I wouldn't expect nerve damage to cause any noticeable sound.  It could be an inner ear issue or you may be sensing arthritic changes in the cervical spine or neck.
