What peripheral neuropathy actually is
Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the peripheral nerves, the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. It most often shows up in the hands and feet as numbness, tingling, burning or sharp pain.
It has many causes, including diabetes, poor blood sugar control, certain vitamin shortages, and pressure on a nerve. The examination and your history help us understand what may be involved.
Peripheral neuropathy is often confused with a pinched nerve in the spine. A pinched nerve in the lower back can cause similar symptoms down a leg. The examination helps tell them apart.
How you know it is peripheral neuropathy and not something else
The pattern is numbness, tingling, burning or sharp pain in the hands or feet, often worse at night, sometimes with a feeling of wearing gloves or socks when you are not.
