10 Neuropathy Symptoms

Symptom #6: Cramps
As previously established, there are many types of neuropathy. Patients who suffer from neuropathy often report experiencing muscle cramps. A muscle cramp is an involuntary and rapid contraction of the muscles. While it is generally harmless, it can cause severe pain and result in a temporary loss of muscle function until it resolves.
While it is a non-specific symptom that can be associated with any other disease such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (or better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), it can occur with low calcium levels and neuropathy. If you are constantly experiencing muscle cramps, you should make an appointment with your doctor to determine the underlying cause of the condition.
