CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — Living with neuropathy’s chronic pain, discomfort and mobility issues can lead to anxiety, depression and a diminished sense of well-being. Neuropathy can affect work/life balance, limit social activities and increase feelings of isolation.
Seeking treatment for neuropathy not only addresses the physical symptoms but can also help with the emotional toll. By receiving early neuropathy intervention, individuals can find relief, reduce the risk of complications, slow the progression and improve their quality of life.
Fortunately, recent advancements in medical science have brought hope to those suffering from this condition. The FDA has approved a groundbreaking treatment for neuropathy, offering new possibilities for patients and health care providers alike at Vista Healthcare.
What is neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a condition affecting the peripheral nerves, leading to weakness, numbness and pain, primarily in the hands and feet. This debilitating condition can significantly impact a person’s quality of life.
Some neuropathy patients can have difficulty finding their balance, increasing their susceptibility to falls and related injuries. Falls, in severe cases, can result in fractures, head injuries or other serious health problems.
People who experience peripheral neuropathy may have one or more of the following symptoms:
- Muscle weakness.
- Cramps.
- Muscle twitching.
- Loss of muscle and bone.
- Numbness.
- Loss of sensation or feeling in body parts.
- Sleep disruptions.
- Trouble eating or swallowing.
- Loss of pain or sensation that can put you at risk, such as not feeling an impending heart attack or limb pain.
- Inability to sweat properly, leading to heat intolerance.
- Loss of bladder control, leading to infection or incontinence.
- Dizziness, lightheadedness or fainting because of a loss of control over blood pressure.
- Loss of balance or other functions as a side effect of the loss of feeling in the legs, arms or other body parts
- Diarrhea, constipation or incontinence related to nerve damage in the intestines or digestive tract.
- Life-threatening symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or irregular heartbeat.
Those at high risk
People with diabetes or those on diabetic medications are at higher risk for neuropathy. Others at high risk may include people who are undergoing chemotherapy, are nutritionally deficient, have been exposed to toxins (Agent Orange), suffer from reduced blood flow, have had physical trauma, are genetically predisposed or are elderly.
