S34: Injury of nerves and lumbar spinal cord at abdomen, lower back and pelvis level
S34.6: Injury of peripheral nerve(s) of abdomen, lower back and pelvis
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.
Nerves in the abdomen, the lower back or the pelvis serve the muscles and the skin in those areas, for example. So when these nerves are injured, you may no longer be able to move muscles in your abdomen or hip properly, for example. You may also have less sensation in the affected areas.
