Mononeuropathies of lower limb - what does this mean
Mononeuropathies of the lower limb occur when a single nerve is damaged or compressed, resulting in pain, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness in the affected area. this can be caused by direct trauma, entrapment, or compression of the nerve, as well as systemic diseases such as diabetes, infections, and autoimmune disorders.
What happens during the disease - mononeuropathies of lower limb
Mononeuropathies of the lower limb are caused by damage to a single peripheral nerve, usually due to compression or entrapment of the nerve. this can be caused by prolonged pressure or strain on the nerve, such as from sitting in an awkward position for a long period of time, or from a traumatic injury. as a result of the damage, the nerve's ability to transmit signals to the muscles of the lower limb is impaired, leading to weakness, numbness, and pain in the affected area.
