What causes inflamed nerves? i had a blood test where my calves hurt and doc said that there is inflammation in my nerves

Complex: The label "inflammed nerves" may be a doctor's way of trying to talk to a patient about some ill-defined nerve problem - too complex to explain - and may not imply that actual inflammation is proven. Actual nerve inflammation comes from many causes of widely divergent types.
