Peripheral Neuropathy is a condition involving damage to the peripheral nerves, which can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or muscle weakness. These symptoms may affect both the mobility and sensory functions of patients. Potential causes of the condition include:

• Diabetes: One of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy. Prolonged high blood sugar levels can damage nerves.
• Infections: Certain infections, such as viral or bacterial infections, can lead to nerve damage.
• Injury: Physical trauma or situations that place pressure on nerves can cause symptoms.
• Genetics: Some forms of peripheral neuropathy may run in families.
