What are the signs that should not be overlooked …
There are billions of nerves in your body. Most of them, your peripheral nerves, are like branches of a tree that are spread all over and transmit messages back to the “trunk” – your brain and spinal cord. When everything goes smoothly, your brain gets the information it needs to be able to move your muscles, recognize pain, and maintain your internal organs properly.
When these nerves get damaged, then walking is difficult, pain is severe and the risk is high.
Diabetes is the leading cause of damage to these nerves.
However, the trauma (caused by accident) of aging, vitamin deficiency, exposure to toxins, hepatitis C and immune diseases are not excluded.
The disease develops slowly, which means that someone can cure it before it gets worse.
Although the diagnosis is not always simple, the symptoms of this disease are an alarm bell that should not be ignored.
Numbness, tingling, or burning
If you notice these symptoms in your feet and hands, you should know that it comes from the compression of sensory nerves during sleep.
These symptoms are temporary, but if they last too long, seek medical attention.
Damage to motor nerves causes weakness, difficulty moving or paralysis, experts say.
Difficulty moving around can be a warning sign of a stroke so make sure you go to the doctor as soon as possible.
Severe pain that starts in the lower back and travels down the back of your leg could mean that you have sciatica.
According to scientists, sciatica can be damaged by disc herniation or diabetes.
Nerve damage means that the urinary bladder receives the wrong information, so you feel like you have to pee a lot, or you have problems to get to the toilet in time.
People suffering from diabetes are most affected by this problem.
If you are affected by sudden but very severe headaches, then you should know that this is due to damage to the neck nerves.
This problem is resolved by an injection that temporarily blocks the nerve responsible for transmitting the pain signal.
Excessive sweating can be indicative of damage to the nerves that send information from the sweat glands to the brain.
