5. Peripheral Neuropathy
Our nervous system includes the brain and the spinal cord. It also includes the vast network of nerves that radiate out from the spine and brain. These cover all parts of the body, including the hands and feet. If something was to go wrong with this network of nerves then the patient can experience some very unwelcome symptoms.
Peripheral neuropathy is caused when the nerves become damaged, affecting what the patient feels. This can result in symptoms like tingling and numbness, while it can also result in allodynia. There are various potential causes of peripheral neuropathy, including some infections, and diabetes.
