What are the symptoms of neuritis?

Neuritis actually encompasses many conditions, so the symptoms of patients with neuritis will also be different, such as common sensory disorders, movement disorders, autonomic dysfunction, etc. If you feel unwell or have frequent paralysis, you must seek medical attention and treatment promptly to avoid taking medicine indiscriminately.

Neuritis refers to the inflammation, degeneration or degeneration of a nerve or group of nerves. The symptoms vary depending on the cause. General symptoms are pain, tenderness, tingling, itching and loss of sensation in the infected nerve, redness, swelling of the infected part and severe spasm.

1. Nerve injury such as nearby fractures and direct blows; 2. Nerve infection such as diabetes, blood cancer and gout; 3. Mercury, lead, methanol poisoning; 4. Lack of B vitamins in the diet (especially arthritis is vitamin B)

The disease can be acute or slow in onset due to different etiologies and medical conditions. The main clinical manifestations are symmetrical sensory, motor and autonomic dysfunctions mainly in the distal extremities, and are often more severe in the lower extremities.

1. Sensory impairment:

In the early stage, the symptoms are usually burning pain, numbness, and other paresthesias or hyperesthesias at the finger (or toe) tips. Gradually, the sensation decreases and even disappears. The distribution of sensory disturbances is like a glove or sock. A few patients may have deep sensory disturbances. There is often tenderness in the gastrocnemius muscles.

2. Movement disorders:

The symptoms include tight muscle weakness, low muscle tone, weakened or absent tendon reflexes. In some cases (such as furazolidone), the reflexes may be active. After a long illness, there may be muscle atrophy. After strenuous exercise, the legs may feel uncomfortable, which may be manifested as numbness, unstable standing, and soreness and numbness in the ankles.

3. Autonomic dysfunction:

Coolness, paleness, flushing or mild cyanosis of the extremities, hypohidrosis or hyperhidrosis, dryness, thinning, tenderness or roughness of the skin, loss of normal luster of the nails and increased keratinization, etc.

Due to different causes, the symptoms of the above three groups may vary. For example, the pain caused by furazolidone poisoning, arsenic poisoning, etc. is often more severe; the muscle atrophy caused by diabetes is sometimes more obvious. The severity of various clinical manifestations is also inconsistent. Mild cases may only have pain and numbness in the extremities without sensory loss or movement disorders. Severe cases may also have limb paralysis. The prognosis is generally good, and recovery often starts from the distal extremities.
