mononeuropathy

Mononeuropathy is a condition where a single nerve is damaged or affected, leading to problems with sensation, movement, or function in the specific area it serves. It can result from injury, compression, or other issues like inflammation or diabetes. The symptoms depend on which nerve is affected, often causing numbness, weakness, tingling, or pain localized to a region. Because it involves only one nerve, the symptoms are usually restricted to a specific part of the body, making it different from more widespread nerve conditions. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and may include medications, therapy, or surgery.
