10 Neuropathy Symptoms

Symptom #7: Weakness
If sensory nerves are affected the sensation such as touch, pain, and vibration are affected. If motor nerves are affected, it can result in weakness or paralysis. Other symptoms such as muscle twitching, cramping, spasms, tiredness, and other factors can also contribute to further muscle weakness as the muscles start to atrophy.
The pain can also cause the patient to be unwilling to move which further contributes to muscular weakness. Management, such as physical rehabilitation, might be beneficial. In elderly patients, the symptoms of weakness can often be mistaken as part of the aging process.
