What is peripheral neuropathy?

Nerve Damage
Explained

Peripheral neuropathy is a medical condition that occurs when the peripheral nerves, which are the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, become damaged or diseased.

Peripheral neuropathy can be acute, which means symptoms appear suddenly and get worse rather quickly. Or it can be chronic, which means symptoms continue for long periods, may go away and return, or stay the same for months or even years.

These nerves are responsible for transmitting signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body, including the hands, feet, arms, and legs.
