Peripheral Neuropathy


WHAT IS PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY?

Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) is weakness, numbness, and pain from nerve damage, usually in the hands and feet. Neuropathy is painful and can limit activities of daily living. It occurs when nerves are damaged or destroyed and can’t send messages to the body’s muscles, skin, and other parts from the brain and spinal cord. Peripheral neuropathy can cause burning pain or numbness, trouble with walking, and impaired balance. Often, the symptoms are identical on both sides of the hands or feet.
