Understanding Neuropathy
Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, refers to a condition where the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord are damaged. This damage can result in pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness, particularly in the hands and feet. Neuropathy can develop gradually and may be caused by a variety of factors, including diabetes, infections, trauma, or certain medications.

- Trauma or Injury: Physical injury to the nerves, such as from a car accident or surgery, can lead to neuropathy.
- Chemotherapy: Certain cancer treatments can cause peripheral neuropathy as a side effect.
