Do you have persistent pain in your hands or feet?

It could be neuropathy.

The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy depend on what nerves the neuropathy affects. These can be sensory nerves, (the nerves that help you interpret sensations) motor nerves, (the nerves that help you move) and autonomic nerves (the nerves that control involuntary functions, like digestion). 

Common symptoms include:

  • Pain
  • Tingling or numbness
  • Changes in sensation – feeling like you’re wearing gloves or socks when you’re not
  • Muscle weakness
  • Decreased range of movement
  • Digestive upset
