Warning Signs Of Peripheral Neuropathy

Muscle Weakness

Muscle weakness is when an individual is unable to produce a muscle movement. A muscle movement begins with stimuli that trigger the individual's brain to react. The brain determines which muscles need to be moved and then sends impulses to the nerves connected to the muscles it intends to move. The nerve impulses travel from the individual's brain to their spinal cord and then to the branched out nerves the control the target muscles.

This process of communication cannot be interfered with or interrupted in any way for an individual to move their muscles normally. Nerves in the extremities become damaged with peripheral neuropathy. It keeps nerve impulses from moving to the appropriate muscle without any interruption or interference. As a result, an affected individual may experience muscle weakness or be unable to move a muscle to the extent they are attempting.
