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.
How do you know if you have peripheral neuropathy?
If you have one or a combination of these symptoms, you may have peripheral neuropathy. A doctor can test for and confirm if you have it.
When peripheral nerves are damaged,
it can lead to a range of symptoms, including:
Sensation of wearing an invisible “glove” or “sock”
Burning sensation
Freezing pain
Sharp, jabbing, shooting or electric-like pain
Extreme sensitivity to touch
Difficulty sleeping due to pain
Loss of balance and coordination
Muscle weakness
Muscle cramping/twitching
Difficulty walking or moving the arms
