The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) is a purely sensory nerve, [3] [2] and consequently the symptoms are also sensory. [4] Symptoms are typically unilateral, seen in about 78% of cases, but may be bilateral. [4] [2] The most common symptom is pain, paresthesias, or dysthesias on the anterolateral surface of the thigh that extends just ...
Neurogenic claudication must be differentiated from other causes of leg pain, which may be present in a number of conditions involving the spine and musculoskeletal system. The differential diagnosis for NC includes: [9] Vascular claudication; Lumbosacral radicular pain secondary to lumbar disc herniation
Peripheral neuropathy may be classified according to the number and distribution of nerves affected (mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, or polyneuropathy), the type of nerve fiber predominantly affected (motor, sensory, autonomic), or the process affecting the nerves; e.g., inflammation (), compression (compression neuropathy), chemotherapy (chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy).
Optic nerve damage could cause or contribute to vision loss (including retinitis pigmentosa). Like priapism, this is an extremely rare side effect that only affects a tiny percentage of Cialis users.
Epothilones cause microtubule disruption (like taxane-based drugs), which impairs axonal transport and leads to hyperexcitability of peripheral neurons. They can cause neuropathy characterized by paresthesias, numbness, and pain in the hands and feet.
Neuropathic pain has profound physiological effects on the brain which can manifest as psychological disorders. Rodent models where the social effects of chronic pain can be isolated from other factors suggest that induction of chronic pain can cause anxio-depressive symptoms and that particular circuits in the brain have a direct connection.
This pain often starts suddenly and affects one side of the body, although may spread to both sides. This is often followed by variable weakness in the proximal muscles of the lower limbs such as the thigh and buttocks. The damage to nerves supplying specific muscles may cause muscle twitching (fasciculations) in addition to the weakness. It is ...
One unusual cause of focal hyperalgesia is platypus venom. [5] Long-term opioid (e.g. heroin, morphine) users and those on high-dose opioid medications for the treatment of chronic pain, may experience hyperalgesia and experience pain out of proportion to physical findings, which is a common cause for loss of efficacy of these medications over ...
