What Is Peripheral Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves outside your brain and spinal cord. This condition can develop when an injury, illness, infection, or inherited condition causes nerve damage or degeneration. The most common causes of peripheral neuropathy are complications from type 2 diabetes, alcohol overuse disorder, vitamin and nutrient deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, tumors, infections, genetic conditions, and exposure to certain medications and toxins. Peripheral neuropathy can affect different body parts and elements of your peripheral nervous system, causing motor, autonomic, and sensory and pain symptom types.
