Commonly Affected Areas of the Body That Neuropathy Affects. Naperville, IL Dr Richard Hagmeyer

Peripheral neuropathy describes damage to the peripheral nervous system, the vast communications network that transmits information from the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) to every other part of the body.

Peripheral nerves also send sensory information back to the brain and spinal cord, such as a message that the feet are cold or a finger is burned. Damage to the peripheral nervous system interferes with these vital connections. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral neuropathy distorts and sometimes interrupts messages between the brain and the rest of the body.

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 pricking sensations (paresthesia), sensitivity to touch, or muscle weakness.

Others may suffer more extreme symptoms, including burning pain (especially at night), muscle wasting, paralysis, or organ or gland dysfunction. People may become unable to digest food easily, maintain safe levels of blood pressure, sweat normally, or experience normal sexual function. In the most extreme cases, breathing may become difficult or organ failure may occur.

Although neuropathy can affect any part of the body, it most commonly affects the extremities. The extremities are defined as the hands and the feet. Many forms of neuropathy begin in the feet before moving onward throughout the rest of the body. In other words, left untreated there is typically a progressive worsening of the condition.

Similarly, the most common organ that is affected by neuropathy is the skin. Typically, the condition progresses from the inside out with the skin being affected first then the internal organs are eventually affected if the neuropathy is allowed to continue its progression unabated.

Usually neuropathy is a slow moving yet progressive condition; there are some types of neuropathy, however, that progress at a much quicker pace. Fortunately, with the proper treatment that is implemented as quickly as possible, the effects of almost all types of neuropathy can be slowed a great deal and reversed.
