Understanding Neuropathy

It is the term for damage to your nerves. When nerves are damaged, they cease to function properly. This can lead to pain, numbness, weakness, or other unusual sensations, typically in the hands, feet, legs, or arms.

There are different kinds of nerves in your body: some control movement, some manage your automatic body functions (like digestion or heart rate), and others send signals to help you feel things like temperature and pain. Depending on which nerves are affected, neuropathy can manifest in very different ways from one person to another.

How do you know you are suffering from Neuropathy- Common symptoms-

  • Numbness or reduced ability to feel pain or temperature changes
  • Tingling or “pins and needles”
  • Burning or shooting pain, often worse at night
  • Muscle weakness or trouble moving
  • Balance problems or frequent falls
  • Increased sensitivity to touch

Common Causes

  • Diabetes
  • Long-term alcohol use
  • Certain medications and chemotherapy
  • Infections like shingles, HIV, or hepatitis
  • Vitamin deficiencies
  • Thyroid disorders
  • Autoimmune diseases
  • Genetic conditions

Neuropathy Types

Depending on which nerves are affected and how many are involved, there are several types:

  • Peripheral Neuropathy –Affects the nerves in your hands, feet, arms, or legs
  • Autonomic Neuropathy –Affects nerves that control automatic body functions like digestion, blood pressure, and heart rate.
  • Focal Neuropathy (Mononeuropathy) –Affects a single nerve, often causing sudden weakness or pain in one area. Carpal tunnel syndrome is an example.
  • Polyneuropathy –Affects multiple nerves at once.
