Neuropathy Q & A
What is neuropathy?
Neuropathy develops when your nerves are damaged, disrupting the normal communication between your brain and the rest of your body. This condition most commonly affects the peripheral nerves in your feet, hands, legs, and arms, but it can impact any nerve throughout your body.
There are different types of neuropathy, including:
Understanding the specific type and location of nerve damage is essential for developing an effective treatment plan that addresses your unique symptoms and needs.
What are the symptoms of neuropathy?
The earliest and most common symptoms of neuropathy are tingling sensations or numbness in your hands or feet. However, neuropathy symptoms vary significantly depending on the location of nerve damage and the type of nerve affected.
You have three main types of nerves, each potentially causing different symptoms when damaged:

- Stabbing, burning, or shooting pain
- Extreme sensitivity to touch or temperature
- Loss of coordination and balance
- Muscle weakness or paralysis
- Difficulty grasping objects or walking
Autonomic Nerve Symptoms
- Abnormal sweating patterns
- Loss of bowel or bladder control
- Digestive problems and nausea
- Blood pressure fluctuations
- Heart rate abnormalities
- Temperature regulation issues
