We take everything for granted inside us, in a rather naive way. But because nerves are designed to signal the person of danger, warning of things temperature wise or injury wise, they are very sensitive and fragile. Looking at it this way, sort of explains why some people get the symptoms they do. Whatever the trigger is, it must be setting off alarms that the nerves are supposed to pick up. I do think that sometimes they do not "turn off". I saw that with Lidoderms and my MP. Once I got that 15yr old nerve turned off, it stayed off for the most part. It will twinge with application of any kind of heat or over-extension of the leg ..but not like it was before the Lidoderms!
