Mononeuritis multiplex

Positioning, the use of frames to keep bedclothes off of a tender body part, and other measures may be helpful to control pain. Autonomic symptoms may occur and can be treated symptomatically. These may be difficult to treat or respond poorly to treatment, however.

If the cause can be identified and successfully treated, and if damage is limited, there is a possibility of full recovery from mononeuritis multiplex. The extent of disability varies from no disability to partial or complete loss of movement, function or sensation.

Nerve pain may be quite uncomfortable and persist for a prolonged period of time. If this occurs, see a pain specialist to ensure that all options for pain treatment are available to you.

• Recurrent or unnoticed injury to any part of the body
