Peripheral neuropathy is a medical condition in which the nerves that carry information to and from the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This can cause a wide range of symptoms, including numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness. In some cases, peripheral neuropathy can lead to serious problems, such as infections and falls.
The exact cause of peripheral neuropathy is often unknown, but it can be caused by injuries, infections, diabetes, certain medications, and exposure to toxins. Treatment for peripheral neuropathy typically focuses on relieving the symptoms. In some cases, however, the underlying cause can be treated. With prompt diagnosis and treatment, many people with peripheral neuropathy can experience significant improvement.
