Peripheral Neuropathy Symptoms
Peripheral neuropathy results from damage to the nerve cells, and symptoms include weakness, numbness, and pain. Most people experience symptoms in the arms, hands, legs, and feet, but neuropathy can also affect other areas of the body. Generally, the farther the nerves and vessels are from the body’s core (i.e., heart), the smaller they are and more susceptible to injury.
- EPain in the arms, hands, legs, or feet

- E Tingling

Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy results from a combination of factors. When blood sugar levels are higher than normal for extended periods, it can result in excess blood sugar in the tissue, which damages both nerves and the related blood vessels. Diabetic neuropathy tends to evolve over many years. Many patients ignore the initial symptoms, which will become more severe over time if left untreated:
Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 3
Stage 4
Stage 5
Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy
