Warning Signs Of Peripheral Neuropathy

Lack Of Coordination

A peripheral neuropathy patient may experience damage to the nerves that control the muscles in the feet and legs that enable them to be able to stand and walk. When these nerves become damaged, they cannot effectively transmit impulses to the muscles to tell them to contract at the right time or at all. Sensory nerves in the legs and feet that become damaged can cause an individual affected by peripheral neuropathy to be unable to keep their balance properly due to intermittent numbness and other abnormal sensations. The foot of an affected individual has the same feeling healthy individuals experience when they have a foot that has fallen asleep, and then they try to stand up and walk on it. The lack of feeling causes an inability to coordinate the sequence of muscle movements required to stand and walk properly.
