As you age, your body can go through many changes that can significantly— and even negatively— impact how it works. Unfortunately, the numerous nerves found throughout the body can be subject to damage too, ultimately affecting your body’s health and overall function.
These nerves are responsible for sending signals to either your brain or muscles so you can move properly, communicate with facial expressions, use your senses effectively, and take charge of your reflexes.
Before things take a turn for the worse, try to spot these telltale signs that your nerves are already aging or are dealing with nerve damage. Although not all people may deal with the effects of “aging nerves” right away, it’s still better to prepare and be one step ahead of the pain to help ensure optimal nerve function. Take note of the common signs of nerve damage in adults and senior citizens:
1. Numbness or sensation loss in fingertips. This is undeniably one of the most common signs of damaged and/or aging nerves. People dealing with this issue have difficulty performing activities or tasks that involve using the hands, such as typing and tying shoes.
2. Tingling of the body. This mainly occurs in damaged nerves responsible for delivering signals to the brain. This sign of aging nerves can be likened to radio static that appears due to signal issues.
3. Reduced reflexes. When nerves become subject to wear-and-tear caused by aging, these can break down and trigger weakened reflexes or sensations. If left unaddressed, the nerves can cause movement-related problems and increase the risk of falls and injuries.
4. Uncontrolled or unplanned muscle movements. This can happen in nerves that have lost their “connection” to the brain. As a result, the nerves act impulsively and without control. The nerves can move on their own and raise the risk of cramps.
5. Increased pain. Aging nerves that have sustained significant damage are more likely to experience “malfunctions” related to pain signals. This means that there are instances wherein someone can deal with very intense pain (a condition called hyperalgesia) or feel discomfort quickly and easily (a condition called allodynia). Sometimes, these pain signals can also happen spontaneously and out of the blue.
