Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves, causing pain, numbness, and tingling. There are many possible causes of peripheral neuropathy, so it can be difficult to diagnose. However, there are some telltale signs that doctors look for. One common symptom is a loss of sensation in the extremities. This can lead to pain when walking or touching something because there is no longer any protective sensation.
Another symptom is muscle weakness, which can cause difficulty with everyday activities such as carrying groceries or getting out of a chair. Finally, peripheral neuropathy often leads to changes in blood flow, which can be detected with a laser treatment. By looking for these signs, doctors can usually diagnose peripheral neuropathy and begin working on a treatment plan.
