nerve injury

Please simplify the following sentence for me:

NERVE INJURY MAY OCCUR FROM THERMAL DAMAGE TO ADJACENT SENSORY NERVES.

Nerve sends electrical impulses from stumulus(change in environment), to the central nervous system.
Therefore;
Your statement says:
-Nerve injury maybe caused by heat, to a near sensory nerves.

Note: sensory nerves are the nerves that sends(messages or impulses to the central nervous system), from stimulus(external substance or object which could be heat or cold), for the central nervous system to interpret it.

Excessive heat has the potential to cause damage to nerve.

This is obviously from a medical textbook, therefore it requires specialist medical knowledge.
