T06.2: Injuries of nerves involving multiple body regions
You have damaged nerves in several parts of your body.
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.
Someone with an injury to nerves may have a wide range of problems. It may also become impossible to move so well as a result. You may also no longer be able to feel anything in certain parts of the skin. The functions of various organs may be impaired.
