Neuropathy affects millions of people. Some neuropathies can become chronic and require lifelong management, or even degenerate and worsen over time. It's important to recognize the signs of neuropathy and take action.
Some of the following are common symptoms:
- Sensory disturbances: Numbness, tingling, pins and needles, loss of sensation in the hands or feet
- Pain: Burning, sharp, shooting, or electric pain in the feet, legs, back, or hands
- Motor control issues: Muscle weakness, twitching, cramps, or problems with balance or coordination
- Autonomic involvement: Lightheadedness, excessive or diminished sweating, rapid heart rate, or gastrointestinal issues like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation
- Emotional distress: Trouble sleeping
As the condition progresses, symptoms can become more serious - including paralysis and loss of muscle and bone. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is infamous for complications, including foot ulcers, which can lead to gangrenous digits and limbs, sometimes progressing to amputation.
No matter who your doctor or insurance provider is, they have access to the same treatments; EMG, NCV tests, compression socks, vascular surgery, prescription medication, walker/wheelchair, TENS unit, or amputation. None of which address fixing the root cause.
