Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the peripheral nerves are damaged, often resulting in numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness in the feet. It is especially common in patients with diabetes but can also result from injuries, infections, or other health conditions.
This condition can be particularly dangerous because numbness makes it harder for patients to notice cuts, wounds, or infections, which may worsen without treatment.
