Thickened bone: In paget's disease, the bones break down, then try to rebuild themselves. The problem is, the new bone formation is abnormal - the bone is laid down haphazardly and is weaker and thicker than normal bone. If this happens in your vertebrae, the thickened bone can put pressure on the spinal nerves.

Answer 5

Bones I say: Pagets disease is a disorder which involves abnormal bone metabolism, affecting both new bone formation & acceleration of bone loss. This leads to malformed skeletal structures. If one of those structures is the spinal canal nerve root and / or spinal cord compromise can occur. So yes, paget's can & does cause nerve problems.

Answer 8

Check sensation: Cat bites can develop serious infections quickly. If you have persistent redness, red streaks up your arm, or increasing pain, seek medical care quickly. If there is no sign of infection, you can check for nerve damage by testing the feeling in the skin past the area of bite. If you have an area that is numb, a nerve could be bruised, or less likely cut.

Pain over sinus: This is a condition in which, you're a pain directly over the sinus region. Usually from the bridge of the nose, to the cheek. The pain is usually constant and excruciating. It is due to irritation of a branch of the ethmoid nernerve. Nerve. Supplies sensation for this reason. In my opinion yes really a type trigeminal neuralgia, but the irritation is at a branch of the nerve near it's end.

Answer 12

Headache Variant: Anterior ethmoid nerve syndromes is a series of symptoms resulting from irritation of the terminal branches of the anterior ethmoidal nerve. The referred pains arising from this nerve are chiefly of the sinus type but may also take the form of headache, sometimes of a migrainous character.
