Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most common forms of neuropathy. Prolonged high blood sugar levels can damage nerves over time, often causing numbness, tingling, burning pain, or weakness, especially in the feet and hands.
Accidents, fractures, repetitive strain, or prolonged pressure on nerves can lead to nerve damage and neuropathic symptoms, including pain, weakness, or loss of sensation.
Autoimmune disorders such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or other inflammatory conditions can cause the immune system to attack nerve tissue, leading to inflammation and nerve dysfunction.
Certain infections, including shingles, Lyme disease, and other viral or bacterial illnesses, can affect the nervous system and result in neuropathy symptoms during or after infection.
Deficiencies in essential nutrients—particularly vitamins B1, B6, B12, and E—can impair nerve function and contribute to symptoms like numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness.
