The National Institutes of Health states that Peripheral neuropathy refers to the many conditions that involve damage to the peripheral nervous system, which is a vast communications network that sends signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and all other parts of the body.
Peripheral nerves send many types of sensory information to the central nervous system, such as the message that your feet are cold.
More than 20 million people in the U.S. are estimated to have some form of peripheral neuropathy, but this figure may be significantly higher as not all people with symptoms of neuropathy are evaluated for the disease and most tests currently do not look for all forms of neuropathy.
Main Symptoms can include:
Numbness and Tingling in the feet or hands Burning
Stabbing or Shooting pain in affected areas
Loss of Balance and Coordination
Muscle Weakness
Sharp, Aching, or Throbbing Pain Tiredness
Feelings of Pins & Needles
Cold Hands/Feet
