Based on Patient B's history "nerve damage" diagnosis is most logical.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Signs rely on which nerve is harmed, and whether one nerve, several nerves or the entire body is affected by the damage. In the arms and legs tingling or burning can be an early indicator of nerve damage. Disruption to the nerves can make regulation of the muscles more difficult. It can also cause frailty.

A test of nerve conduction velocity (NCV) also termed a study of nerve conduction initiatives how quickly an electrical impulse goes through the nerve. NCV can recognize any real harm to the nerves. The nerve is stimulated during the test, generally with patches of electrodes fixed to one's skin.
