5 signs you have severe neuropathy

"Is this symptom from neuropathy?"

One of the more common questions I get from my clients is asking about different symptoms, and wondering if it is related to their neuropathy. With over a 100 different causes of neuropathy, it is no surprise that every person with neuropathy, sufferers from different symptoms.

Today, I want cover some of the common warning signs of neuropathy, the little alarm bells that your body is using to signal that something is not going right. 

5 SIGNS YOU HAVE SEVERE NEUROPATHY

1. Loss of coordination

Having difficulty with walking, and balancing is one of the most dangerous symptoms of neuropathy.

Statistics show that 1 in 3 adults over the age of 65 experience a fall every year. 

20-30% of these falls result in moderate to severe injuries, including bruises, hip fractures, or head traumas…while 10% of these are fatal.

In fact, falling is the leading cause of injury and death among those over the age of 65. 

2. Extreme SENSITIVITY to touch / allodynia

Allodynia, or extreme sensitivity to touch impacts about 15%-20% of those suffering with neuropathy.

Describing Allodynia to someone not suffering from it can be a challenge. Imagine all of the simple daily tasks that involve something touching your skin - now imagine those simple tasks cause you excruciating pain. 

Simple everyday tasks like; brushing your hair, putting on socks, going to sleep, and walking around can suddenly become daunting tasks. 

3. Trouble sleeping or getting comfortable at night

Sleep disturbance can be a dangerous symptom of neuropathy. Without sleep, your body is in poor shape to heal.

4. Ulcers and Slow Wound Healing

There are a few reasons why neuropathy causes ulcers, and slow wound healing including: 

• Poor circulation
• High blood sugar
• Infections
• Inability to feel/see wounds 

Peripheral neuropathy is also the #1 cause of amputations in those suffering from diabetes.

5. Pain and Numbness

Pain and numbness in areas of the body with neuropathy are the two most common symptoms I see in my office. Most typically, the pain and numbness effects feet and legs. But I have also seen clients with pain and numbness in their arms, legs, back, and face. 

The truth is, anywhere you have nerves - neuropathy can exist.
