Neuropathy, also known as peripheral neuropathy, is a collective term for disorders related to nerves on the periphery of the brain and spinal cord. In other words, neuropathy affects the peripheral nervous system. The condition leads to pain in the hands and feet. The condition can occur due to trauma from injuries, ingestion of toxins, infections, and metabolic conditions.

Peripheral neuropathy may manifest as mononeuropathy, multiple mononeuropathy, and polyneuropathy. Treatment options include surgery and courses of medicines that include antidepressants.

Successful detection of the condition depends upon accurately appraising the symptoms as early as possible. Symptoms include weakened muscles, cramps, loss of balance, numbness, pain, loss of bladder control, sexual dysfunction, and a total absence of sensation.
