Neuropathy can be caused by many different conditions but today we will discuss a few of the most frequent causes.
👉🏼One of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy in the U.S. is Diabetes. The most common type of peripheral neuropathy is diabetic neuropathy, caused by a high sugar level and resulting in nerve fiber damage in your legs and feet.
👉🏼Neuropathy is a common side effect of Chemotherapy. It happens because chemotherapy damages healthy cells, including the nerves. Chemotherapy can damage nerves that affect feeling and movement in the hands and feet. This condition chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
👉🏼Traumatic injuries are another way people develop peripheral neuropathy in the hands and feet. Car accidents, falls, sports injuries, and even surgeries can all cause injuries that result in neuropathy.
