What Causes Nerve Pain?

Understanding the various conditions that can lead to nerve pain is crucial in finding the right treatment. Some of the most common neuropathy causes include:

  • Diabetes: One of the most common causes of neuropathy is diabetes. High blood sugar levels over a prolonged period can damage the nerves, especially in the legs and feet. This can lead to symptoms such as tingling, burning sensations, and numbness.
  • Injuries: Traumatic injuries from car accidents , workplace incidents, or sports can cause nerve damage and lead to chronic pain.
  • Infections: Certain viral and bacterial infections, such as shingles or Lyme disease, can attack your nerve tissues directly, leading to neuropathy.
  • Autoimmune diseases: Conditions like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis can cause the immune system to mistakenly attack the body's own nerve tissues, resulting in pain and inflammation.
  • Exposure to toxins: Prolonged exposure to toxic substances like heavy metals or certain chemicals can harm the nerves, causing neuropathic pain.
  • Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of essential vitamins, particularly B vitamins, can lead to nerve damage and subsequent nerve pain.
