Aw `(Mononeuropathy)` kin apin? Wetin na di kayn dɛn we dɛn kin gɛt mɔ?

Infakt, ɛni wan pan di nerv dɛn we de na wi bɔdi kin pwɛl dis we. Bɔt di nɛv dɛn we de rɔn nia di skin ɔ nia di bon kin afɛkt mɔ. Sɔm pan dɛn tin ya kin ivin gɛt spɛshal nem dɛn. Sɔntɛm yu dɔn yɛri bɔt dɛn nem ya:

• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Dis na kɔmɔn prɔblɛm fɔ bɔrku pipul dɛm. If yu tayp pan kɔmpyuta ɔl di de ɔ yu de du wok wit yu an (lɛk fɔ siŋ ɔ fɔ kapɛnta), di midyan nɛv we de rɔn tru yu an kin kɔmprɛs, ɛn dis kin mek yu finga dɛn nɔ gɛt bɛtɛ trɛnk ɛn pen.
• Sciatica: Dis kin rili kɔmɔn bak. dis bad bad pen kin apin we wan big nεv (di sciatic nerve) we de rכn frכm wi bak tru wi bכtכk dεm εn dכn wi leg dεm kכmprεs. Sɔntɛnde dis kin bi bay we wi es sɔntin we ebi, we wi sidɔm di rayt we, ɔ we wi gɛt hεnia disk bitwin wi vεrbra.
• Ulnar Nεv Entrapment na di εlbo:Fɔ di wan dɛn we kin rɛst dɛn ɛlb ɔltɛm na tebul, ɔ we sɔntin prɛs na di ɛlb, dis nɛv kin kɔmprɛs, ɛn dis kin mek di smɔl finga ɛn af pan di ring finga nɔ gɛt bɛtɛ trɛnk ɛn wik. Dɛn kin kɔl dis bak `(Cubital Tunnel Syndrome)`.
• Radial Tunnel Syndrome: I kin kכz fכ kכmpreshכn wan nεv na di an (radial nerve).
• כda nεv na di an (`(Guyon's Canal Syndrome)`): dis de apin bak to di ulnar nεv, bכt di kכmpreshכn de apin na di an.
• Prɔblɛm dɛn na di Prɔnial Nɛv: Dis nɛv kin kɔmprɛs we dɛn kip di leg bɛn fɔ lɔng tɛm, ɔ if di ni dɔn wund. Dis kin mek i nɔ izi fɔ es di leg.
• Aksil Nεv Prכblεm: Dis kin apin bikoz fכ injuri na di sכlda.

apat frכm dis, wan kayn ``kranial mononyuropathies`` (mononeuropathies we de asosiet wit di kraynia nεv dεm) de bak. Dis min se wan pan di 12 nerv dɛm we de kɔmɔt dairekt frɔm wi bren dɔn pwɛl. Wan ɛgzampul na ``Bɛl in Palsi`` (Bɛl in Palsi) . insay dis, wan nεv na di fes (``fes nεv`` - di sεvin kraynia nεv) de afekt, we de mek wan say na di fes dכn wan wan.

Sɔntɛnde, i kin pwɛl pas wan nerv, dat na tu ɔ tri nerv dɛn di sem tɛm, na difrɛn pat dɛn na di bɔdi. dis dεn kכl am `mכltipכl mononyuropathies`.

Jɔs tink bɔt, 40% pan di pipul dɛm na Amɛrika go gɛt sciatica sɔm tɛm na dɛn layf! Bɛl in Palsi kin afɛkt lɛk 1 pan ɛvri 60 pipul dɛm. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome kin afɛkt lɛk 3 pan ɛvri 1,000 pipul dɛm insay wan ia. So dɛn tin ya nɔto tin we nɔ kɔmɔn so.

Wetin na di sayn dɛm fɔ dis `(Mononeuropathy)`?

Di sayn dɛm kin difrɛn difrɛn wan bay di nerve wae dɔn pwɛl, bɔt di sayn dɛm wae kin kam pan pɔrsin na:

• We di mɔsul dɛn we de na di say we di sik dɔn wik. if dis kכntinyu, di mכsul dεm kin shrink (muscle atrophy).

If yu gɛt wan ɔ mɔ pan dɛn sik ya, i rili impɔtant fɔ go to dɔktɔ wantɛm wantɛm. Dis na bikɔs di sik kin wɔs if dɛn nɔ trit am. If na so i bi:

Wetin mek dis `(Mononeuropathy)` de divεlכp? Wetin na di tin dɛn we kin mek i apin?

Bɔku rizin dɛn kin de fɔ dis. Di men wan:

1. Injuri dɛn

Bɔku tɛm, dis kin apin bikɔs pɔsin in nerv kin wund dairekt wan. I kin kam bikɔs ɔf tin dɛn lɛk:

• Ripit muv / ripit strayn injuries: Imajin pɔsin we de tayp pan kɔmpyuta kibɔd ɔl di de, ɔ pɔsin we de siŋ klos, ɔ pɔsin we de yuz in an di sem we na faktri. If yu muv bɔku tɛm lɛk dis, dat kin mek dɛn nerv dɛn de pwɛl smɔl.

2. Nɛv Kɔmpreshɔn

Dɛn tin ya kin mek pɔsin gɛt wan nyuropathy:

3. Ɔda Wɛlbɔdi Kɔndishɔn dɛn

Sɔm sik kin mek bak ``Mononeuropathy.`` Bɔt dɛn sik ya kin afɛkt mɔ pas wan nerve.

• Yuz rɔm pasmak (`Alcohol use disorder`).
• Awtoimyun ɛn inflammatory kɔndishɔn: Fɔ ɛgzampul, sik dɛn lɛk Lupus ɛn Rheumatoid Arthritis. Dɛn sik ya kin kam bikɔs di bɔdi in imyun sistɛm nɔ de wok fayn.
• Sɔm infɛkshɔn: HIV (AIDS), Shingles (hɛpi zosta - na wan sik we kin apin afta chikinpoks).
• Dayabitis: Pipul wae gɛt shuga kin gɛt bɔrku risk fɔ gɛt pwɛl hat sik. Dis na tin we kin rili apin.
• Vitamin ɛn nyutriɛnt we nɔ de.

Aw yu go fɛn dis, Dɔktɔ?

Bɔku tɛm, dɔktɔ go aks yu se:

• We yu lisin to ɛn lan bɔt di sayn dɛm, .
• Bay wae yu no di ditel dɛm bɔt yu sik dɛm wae yu bin dɔn gɛt bifo (`medical history`), .
• We dɛn du wan ɛgzam fɔ di bɔdi ɛn ɛgzam fɔ di nyurolɔjik, .

dis kכndyushכn kin bi ``Mononeuropathy''.

Bɔt bikɔs bɔku tin dɛn kin de we kin mek dis apin, if di tin we kin mek yu gɛt dis sik nɔ klia, ɔ if yu sik bad bad wan, yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ du ɔda tɛst. Dɛn tɛst ya kin ɛp fɔ kɔnfɔm di diagnosis ɛn fɔ fɛn di ɔndalayn kɔz. Ɛgzampul dɛn:

• EMG - Electromyography: Dis de tεst aw yu mכsul dεm εn di nεv dεm we de kכnekt to dεm de wok fayn fayn wan.
• Nεv kכndukshכn stכdi: dis de mכsu di spid we di mεsej dεm de travul tru di nεv dεm. If wan nerve dɔn pwɛl, dis spid kin go dɔŋ.
• Blɔd tɛst: Chɛk fɔ ɔda mɛrɛsin dɛn lɛk dayabitis ɛn we yu nɔ gɛt bɛtɛ vaytamɛn.
• Imej tɛst: Dɛn kin yuz tɛst lɛk ɔltra saund, MRI skan, ɔ CT skan fɔ luk fɔ kɔmpreshɔn na di nɛv ɔ if yu gɛt tumbu.

Wetin na di tritmɛnt dɛm fɔ ``Mononeuropathy''?

Di tritmɛnt dipen pan bɔku tin dɛn, lɛk:

• Us nerve dɔn pwɛl?
• Wetin na di rizin?
• Aw bad tin de apin?
• Wetin na yu sayn dɛm?

Yu dɔktɔ go tɛl yu bɔt di tritmɛnt we fit yu pas ɔl fɔ yu sik. Na sɔm tritmɛnt dɛn we dɛn kin yuz:

• Jɛnɛral tritmɛnt: rɛst, yuz mɛrɛsin fɔ mɛn yu pen.
• We yu wɛr splint: Dɛn kin yuz dɛn tin ya fɔ mek di say we di sik afɛkt nɔ muv. Fɔ ɛgzampul, dɛn kin put splint na di an fɔ pipul dɛn we gɛt Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
• Stɛroyd injɛkshɔn: Dɛn kin injɛkt dɛn injɛkshɔn ya na di say we dɛn kin pinch di nɛv fɔ mek i nɔ fil pen, fɔ mek i nɔ swel, ɛn fɔ mek i nɔ gɛt inflamɛns.
• Fizik tritmɛnt: Dis kin ɛp fɔ mek di nerve dɛn wok bak ɛn mek di mɔsul dɛn strɔng tru sɔm patikyula ɛksesaiz ɛn ɔda tritmɛnt dɛn.
• Fɔ trit wan ɔndalayn kɔndishɔn: If dis na bikɔs ɔf sik lɛk dayabitis, i rili impɔtant fɔ kɔntrol da sik de.
• Ɔpreshɔn: If ɔda tritmɛnt dɛn nɔ ɛp, i kin nid fɔ du ɔpreshɔn fɔ mek di nerve we dɔn pinch kɔmɔt.

Ustɛm a fɔ go to dɔktɔ?

If yu de gɛt di sayn dɛn we wi bin dɔn tɔk bɔt, we na pen, swɛt, ɛn we yu mɔsul dɛn wik, i rili impɔtant fɔ go to dɔktɔ. Di kwik we yu bigin fɔ trit, na di mɔ yu go gɛt chans fɔ mek yu gɛt wɛlbɔdi.

If dɛn dɔn ɔlrɛdi no se yu gɛt wan sik we dɛn kɔl mononyuropathy, tɛl yu dɔktɔ if yu sik de wɔs ɔ if nyu sayn dɛn de sho.

I go fayn fɔ aks yu dɔktɔ dɛn kwɛstyɔn ya:

• Us kayn ``Mononeuropathy'' a gɛt?
• Wetin na di rizin fɔ dis?
• Us tritmɛnt opshɔn dɛn a gɛt? Wetin yu kin advays?
• Aw lɔng i go tek fɔ mek dis wɛl?
• A go wɛl ɔltogɛda, ɔ na sɔm pat nɔmɔ a go wɛl?
• Wetin a fɔ du fɔ mek dis nɔ apin igen?

Wetin na de chans fɔ mek yu wɛl pan dis kayn tin?

Dis kin difrɛn frɔm wan pɔsin to ɔda pɔsin. I dipen pan tin dɛm lɛk di nerve we dɔn pwɛl, di ɔndalayn kɔz, ɛn aw di nerve damej bad bad wan.

Dis sik kin mek yu fil pen ɛn i kin ambɔg di tin dɛn we yu de du ɛvride. Sɔm pipul dɛn kin gɛt fɔ sɔfa wit dɛn kayn sik ya fɔ lɔng tɛm. Bɔt if dɔktɔ ebul fɔ fɛn di kɔz ɛn di tritmɛnt wok fayn, ``Mononeuropathy`` kin bi wan tɛmporari kɔndishɔn.

Wetin na di difrɛns bitwin `(Mononeuropathy)` ɛn `(Polyneuropathy)`?

Polyneuropathy na we plɛnti nerv dɛm na yu bɔdi de fel di sem tɛm. Wan ɛgzampul na wan sik we dɛn kɔl Guillain-Barré syndrome, we kin apin wantɛm wantɛm.

כltu, `(Mononeuropathy)` min se na wan nεv n כmכ na yu bכdi de damej. sכmtεm, `multiple mononeuropathy`, we de afekt sεvεra nεv dεm wan tεm, kin at sכmtεm fכ dכkta dεm fכ difrεnt frכm `(Polyneuropathy)`.

Yu kin dɔn yɛri bɔt `(Mononeuropathy)` wit nem dɛm lɛk `(Carpal Tunnel Syndrome)`, `(Bɛl in Palsi)` ɔ `(Sciatica)`. dis na כl di sem tin - damej pan wan nεv.

Fɔ dɔn, tin dɛn we wi fɔ mɛmba

Mononeuropathy nɔto sɔntin fɔ fred, bɔt nɔto sɔntin fɔ ignore bak. If yu nɔ de fil pen ɔltɛm, yu de fil pen, ɔ yu wik na wan say na yu bɔdi, nɔ jɔs ignore am. Si dɔktɔ wantɛm wantɛm.
