Could These 10 Symptoms Mean You Have Nerve Damage?

3. Unnoticed Injuries

Nerve injury can manifest as loss of sensory function, so you may not be able to feel when that part of your body experiences an injury, like a cut, abrasion, or blister. These unnoticed injuries may worsen and cause significant health problems. A good example of this is diabetic foot ulcers that result from the person being unable to feel injuries to the foot. Diabetic foot ulcers are among the most common complications for people with type 2 diabetes and can lead to significant health issues, including osteomyelitis and amputation.
