Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 The Neuropathy Association Some signs of neuropathy: " Numbness, tingling and pain Sensory nerves, when damaged, can cause various symptoms. Early on, there may be spontaneous sensations, called paresthesias which include numbness, tingling, pins and needles, prickling, burning, cold, pinching, sharp, deep stabs, electric shocks, or buzzing. They are usually worse at night, and sometimes painful and severe. Unpleasant abnormal sensations brought on by touching or other stimuli are called dysesthesias. Or instead, there may be anesthesia, a lessening or absence of sensation. " http://www.neuropathy.org/site/PageServer?pagename=wcm_what_is Not an MD I'll tell you where to go!
