The No. 1 medical condition that causes neuropathy?

Neuropathy is damage of nerves that can results in numbness, tingling, muscle weakness and pain in the affected area. Nerve cells or neurons, are damaged or destroyed. This interferes with the way the neurons communicate with each other and with the brain.

Peripheral neuropathy, indicates a problem within the peripheral nervous system which is the network of nerves outside your brain and spinal cord.

Now, there can be many causes of peripheral neuropathy but in about 60% to 70% of cases, diabetes was the underlying cause.

Why does neuropathy get worse at night?

Many people suffering with peripheral neuropathy tend to feel worse at night. Symptoms range from general discomfort to pins and needles or tingling and burning pain.

We are obviously less distracted during night time. We don’t work and we don’t talk to anyone.

There isn’t any type of distraction that can help us forget the pain or discomfort.
