Peripheral neuropathy can cause either numbness or pain. Regardless of whether is the primary symptom, neither is pleasant. The numb sensation may begin with the feeling that the socks are bunched up, despite the fact that they are not. This can lead to a full-fledged numbness in the foot, which can spread up the leg. Often, the protecting sensation is lost, leaving the foot vulnerable to infection from a simple splinter or a foot ulcer. These individuals are also at danger of falling due to their numb feet, which create substantial balance concerns.
Peripheral neuropathy typically causes excruciating pain. It can be anything from being sensitive to extremes of heat and cold, to persistent stabbing pain, to burning, to hot pokers, or to any form of discomfort you can think of. It sounds terrible, and it is! People are frequently unable to sleep as a result of their continual discomfort, which has a negative influence on their lives.
Both pain and numbness are symptoms of peripheral neuropathy that must be treated. Contact Dr. Ejodamen Shobowale of DeNiel Foot and Ankle Center if you have any concerns about numbness or pain in your feet. She’ll take care of your foot and ankle problems and get you back on your feet quickly!
