What are the Causes of Peripheral Foot Neuropathy?
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that can affect the nerves in the hands, legs and feet. The damage to your nerves can cause sensations of pain, numbness, tingling, burning and itching. In severe cases, you may develop weakness and/or lose all sensation in your feet, which can cause problems walking and balancing because you cannot feel the floor underneath you. In some cases, this condition can improve if treated successfully. To help manage this condition, you need to know what is causing your peripheral foot neuropathy, and then follow your doctor’s orders for managing the underlying condition.
