Peripheral neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy refers to conditions that result from damage to nerves that send messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.
Peripheral neuropathy can result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, inherited causes, and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes.
Peripheral neuropathy, the result of damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), often causes weakness, numbness, and pain, usually in the hands and feet. People with peripheral neuropathy generally describe the pain like a stab, burn, or tingling. In many cases, the symptoms improve, especially if they are caused by a treatable condition.
Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy may also include numbness, stinging or tingling in the legs or hands, sharp pain or stinging sensation, sensitivity to touch, pain during normal daily activities, which should not cause pain, lack of coordination and muscle weakness.
