Nerve Damage from Motorcycle Accidents in Austin, Texas
Motorcycle accidents that cause back and neck injuries, especially spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injury, often result in nerve damage, too.
Nerves control everything in your body—your ability to move, your ability to see, hear, taste, touch and smell, and involuntary functions like body temperature and blood pressure. How nerve damage affects you depends on the type of nerves damaged.
Types and Symptoms of Nerve Damage
Autonomic nerves control the involuntary (or partially voluntary) functions of your body. If you’ve suffered injuries that damage autonomic nerves, you may experience:
- Lightheadedness
- Dry eyes and mouth
- Bladder dysfunction
- Sweating too much or too little
Motor nerves control your movement by relaying signals from your brain to your muscles. If you’ve suffered injuries that damage motor nerves, you may experience:
- Weakness
- Difficulty moving (including partial or complete paralysis)
- Twitching
Sensory nerves control your ability to sense pain or touch. If you’ve suffered injuries that damage sensory nerves, you may not register things you feel like hot or cold. You may also experience:
- Pain
- Numbness or tingling
- Burning
