Nerves are a sort of wiring in the body. Nerves conduct information. The nerves use electrical impulses to do this. Nerves are important, for instance, in enabling you to sense contacts and temperatures, and to move your muscles.

There are various disorders that involve nerve inflammation. Depending on the condition there can be a variety of symptoms. You may no longer be able to move your arms or legs properly, for example. The skin in some parts of the body may also feel numb, tingly or sore. There may also be other symptoms.
