If the fibers are damaged, the receptors begin to transmit distorted impulses to the central nervous system. The pain syndrome affects not only the site of damage, but also spreads to areas where the nerves that transmit the signal pass.
Neuralgia is not an independent pathology, but only indicates the development of an inflammatory process in the system. Hypothermia, trauma, disturbances in the functioning of the cardiovascular system, infections, poisoning can provoke an ailment.heavy metals, pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, diabetes mellitus. Most often, cases of intercostal neuralgia are diagnosed, in which pain occurs in the chest area.
