Neuropathy, Neuropathic Pain, and Painful Peripheral Neuropathy: Painful peripheral neuropathy is a common neurological disorder characterized by numbness, weakness, tingling and pain, often starting in the hands or feet. The American Chronic Pain Association estimates that more than 15 million people in the U.S. and Europe have some degree of neuropathic pain. More than two out of every 100 persons are estimated to have peripheral neuropathy; the incidence rises to eight in every 100 people for people aged 55 or older. Symptoms of Painful Peripheral Neuropathy. Symptoms and prognosis vary between types of peripheral neuropathy.

8 Questions About Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy refers to a condition in which the nerves going from the brain and spinal cord to the legs, feet, arms, or hands are damaged. As a result, nerves no longer conduct impulses properly, either transmitting signals poorly or spontaneously activating.

- Address underlying conditions. The first step in treating peripheral neuropathy is to address any contributing causes such as infection, toxin exposure, medication-related toxicity, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, or compression that can lead to neuropathy.ymptom Management. Neuropathic pain, or pain caused by the injury to a nerve or nerves, is often difficult to control. Mild pain may sometimes be alleviated by over-the-counter analgesics such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

What Does Idiopathic Peripheral Neuropathy Mean? High blood sugars somehow damage the nerves -- we don't completely understand. Idiopathic neuropathy means that something has happened to your little peripheral nerves -- that they're not working right, and we just don't know the answer. You're feeling a real pain, or numbness, or tingling, or whatever you may be feeling, but we don't have an explanation for it, and it's rather common.

Neuropathy, Neuropathic Pain, and Painful Peripheral Neuropathy: Some 30% of peripheral neuropathies occur as a complication of diabetes, and an estimated 26% of patients with diabetes have some degree of diabetic neuropathy, due to prolonged effects of high blood sugar levels. In another 30% of cases, the precise cause of a painful peripheral neuropathy is unclear (or “idiopathic”). Other neuropathy causes include physical injury to a nerve, tumors, exposure to toxins, alcoholism, kidney failure, autoimmune responses, nutritional deficiencies, shingles, HIV infection, and vascular or metabolic disorders.

Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a disease of the peripheral nerves. These are all the nerves except for the brain and spinal cord. About 30% of people with HIV develop PN. Some PN is a breakdown of the nerve endings (axons) that send sensations to the brain. Sometimes, PN is damage to the coating of nerve fibers (myelin). This affects the transmission of pain signals to the brain.

Idiopathic Neuropathy Damage to nerve cells can affect how the PNS communicates with the rest of the body. Symptoms can include numbness, pain, and balance issues. When symptoms develop suddenly, it is called acute neuropathy. When symptoms start slowly and increase over time, it is chronic neuropathy.
