Neuropathy, or peripheral neuropathy, is a condition that results from damage to the peripheral nervous system, which sends information from your brain and spinal cord to the rest of your body. You might experience symptoms like numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and pain, often in your hands and feet. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and managing symptoms.
