Common Causes and Risk Factors of Neuropathy
Neuropathy is a type of pain that comes from damaged nerves and causes symptoms such as numbness, a burning sensation, muscle weakness, balance problems and tingling. Here in Rochester, MN it is a common issue we see in our clinic and it can be caused by several things. Some of the most common causes and risk factors of neuropathy include the following:
- Diabetes: If diabetes is left untreated properly or one has had it for a long time- neuropathy can occur.
- Infections: There are several types of infections that can cause neuropathy. These include shingles, herpes, HIV and Lyme disease.
- Nerve Compression: This is when a nerve has pressure on it resulting in neuropathy. Nerve compression can be caused by injuries and scar tissue.
- Injuries: Various types of injuries, fractures and burns can lead to nerve damage that results in pain.
- Vitamin Deficiencies: Being low on some vitamins can lead to neuropathy. Vitamin B12 is the most common deficiency that causes it.
