About Nerve Problems
Nerve problems can rob the joy and happiness out of your life. Nothing is worse than mentally wanting to something, but physically, your body just won’t cooperate (due to some kind of neurological problem). Things like maintaining your balance can limit mobility or put you risk of a fall. Other things like preserving your independence can be troublesome. You may want to get down on the ground to play with the grandkids. But it is just too tough to do so. Or you can no longer enjoy a game of bowling or golf because of weakness, numbness or your legs just won’t allow this anymore.
