Nerves
Numbness, tingling, and nerve-related symptoms
Your nerves are like electrical wires that carry signals between your brain and the rest of your body. When a nerve is compressed, damaged, or inflamed, you might feel numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or weakness in your hands, arms, legs, or feet.
Nerve problems can result from injuries, repetitive strain, disc herniations pressing on nerves, or conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and peripheral neuropathy. Left untreated, nerve damage can become permanent — but when caught early, most nerve conditions respond well to treatment.
Dr. Akhilesh Agrawal has extensive experience in nerve repair and decompression surgery. If you've been experiencing persistent tingling, loss of grip strength, shooting pain down your arm or leg, or numbness that won't go away — don't ignore it. A proper evaluation can identify the exact cause and the best path to recovery.

Common Questions
If your hands go numb or tingle — especially when you're sleeping or holding something for a while — a nerve in your wrist might be getting squeezed. It's called carpal tunnel syndrome. Imagine a tunnel in your wrist where the nerve passes through — if that tunnel gets too tight, the nerve gets pinched. Wearing a wrist brace at night often helps, and the doctor has other solutions too.
A burning, zapping, or electric shock feeling usually means a nerve is irritated or damaged. Nerves carry signals like electrical wires — when a wire is frayed or pinched, the signals go haywire. This can happen from a pinched nerve in your spine, diabetes, or other causes. The doctor can find out exactly which nerve is affected and how to calm it down.
Sudden numbness or drooping on one side of your face needs immediate medical attention. It could be a sign of a stroke — where blood flow to part of your brain gets blocked, like a clog in a pipe. Remember the word FAST: Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call for help. Don't wait.
If you notice your arm or leg slowly getting weaker over time — dropping things more often or tripping more — a nerve might be slowly getting squeezed. Like a tree root growing under a sidewalk and slowly cracking it, the pressure builds up gradually. Catching this early means easier treatment, so it's worth getting checked.
