Tingling and numbness: It feels like your feet or hands are going numb for no apparent reason. Sometimes it feels like a tingling or prickling sensation, or like walking on cotton wool.
Pain: Neuropathic pain is often sharp, burning, or feels like someone is squeezing your feet or hands. Some people describe it as a feeling that your feet are burning. This pain often subsides with proper treatment.
Muscle weakness: You may have trouble gripping objects or feel like your feet are weaker than usual. It’s as if your muscles are constantly tired and can’t do their job properly.
Balance and coordination problems: You may feel unsteady or have trouble walking, as if you’re trying to balance on a tightrope. This is often confused with dizziness, but it’s different.
Warning signs of severe neuropathy
There are three symptoms that may indicate that your neuropathy may be more serious and require immediate medical attention:
Complete loss of sensation: If you can’t feel anything in your hands or feet—no touch, heat, cold, or pain—this is a serious problem. This increases your risk of injury because you can’t feel them.
Movement problems: If you have severe weakness in your hands or feet, can’t walk freely, can’t lift objects, or have trouble with basic activities like brushing your teeth, this could indicate serious nerve damage. Paralysis is the most advanced stage.
Severe, chronic pain: If your pain doesn’t go away even after taking medications or supplements, and continues to get worse, it could be a sign of something more serious.
How to Treat Neuropathy
Treatment of neuropathy involves two main components: providing your body with adequate nutrients and avoiding factors that damage your nerves. If you don’t avoid harmful substances, the good ones won’t work as effectively.
