Neuropathy Pain

Neuropathy Pain:
Like static on a phone line

When someone has neuropathy, the message between the brain and the rest of the body becomes distorted or interrupted.

Neuropathy describes damage to the nervous system outside the spine and brain. These peripheral nerves make up an intricate network that connects the brain and the spinal cord to the muscles, skin, and internal organs.

Because every peripheral nerve has a highly specialized function in a specific part of the body, a wide array of symptoms can occur when nerves are damaged. Some people may experience temporary numbness, tingling, and prickling sensations, paresthesia, sensitivity to touch or muscle weakness. Others may suffer from extreme symptoms including burning pain (especially at night) muscle wasting, paralysis or organ or gland dysfunction.
