ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Neuropathy explained: From cause to care
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a condition characterized by damage to the peripheral nerves, often manifesting as numbness, tingling, burning sensations, or pain in the hands, feet, arms, and legs. While initial symptoms may be mild, they can progress to severe discomfort, significantly impacting daily life.
There are several known causes of PN. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders and infections are commonly associated with PN. In diabetes, the chronically high blood sugar levels damage the nerves. Nearly any source of nerve inflammation can contribute (such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and Guillian-Barre’). Viral infections such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, Lyme disease and shingles are on the top of the list as well.
