Peripheral Neuropathy

Peripheral Neuropathy is weakness, numbness, and pain from nerve damage, usually in the hands and feet.

A common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes, but it can also result from injuries, infections, and exposure to toxins.
Treatments include antidepressants like amitriptyline, pain medications like oxycodone, anti-seizure medications, and pain-relieving creams but they produce a diversity of side effects and are occasionally ineffective.
