Peripheral Nervous System Conditions

Conditions that affect the PNS, known as peripheral neuropathy, can cause symptoms such as numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, and sensitivity to touch and temperature changes. These conditions can be caused by various factors like diabetes, autoimmune diseases, injuries, and certain types of cancer and cancer treatments. Understanding the symptoms and causes of peripheral neuropathy is important for seeking appropriate care and management.
