Neuropathy Therapy for Extreme Nerve Pain
Peripheral neuropathy is the damage to your peripheral nerves and is most commonly experienced in your hands and feet.
However, it can also affect other areas of your body. Often, this causes a patient to experience weakness, numbness, and pain in the affected areas. Your peripheral nervous system is responsible for sending information from your brain and spinal cord (central nervous system) to the rest of your body. Peripheral neuropathy may occur as a result of traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, inherited causes, or exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes mellitus. People with peripheral neuropathy generally describe their pain as stabbing, burning, or tingling at the areas of affliction. In many cases, symptoms improve, especially if caused by a treatable condition. Medications can also help to reduce the pain of peripheral neuropathy.
Understand Your Peripheral System and the Functions it Has
Every nerve in your peripheral system has a specific function, so symptoms depend on the type of nerves affected. Within your peripheral nervous system, you have sensory nerves, motor nerves, and autonomic nerves. Sensory nerves receive sensation from the skin, such as temperature, pain, vibration, and touch. Motor nerves control muscle movement throughout the body, including in your hands and feet where this pain is commonly found. Autonomic nerves control functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, and bladder control.
Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy might include :
- Gradual onset of numbness, prickling or tingling in your feet or hands, which can spread upward into your legs and arms
- Sharp, jabbing, throbbing, freezing or burning pain
- Extreme sensitivity to touch
- Lack of coordination and falling
- Muscle weakness or paralysis if motor nerves are affected
- Heat intolerance and altered sweating
- Bowel, bladder or digestive problems
- Changes in blood pressure, causing dizziness or lightheadedness
