Symptoms of Neuropathy
 Neuropathies are processes affecting nerves, either single nerves or a generalised disorder. Damage occurs to the nerves that travel between the brain and the spinal cord to the muscles, skin and other parts of the body, causing pain. The site and cause of the neuropathic pain varies according to the type of neuropathy.
Types There are many Neuropathies, the most common are:
  • Diabetic Neuropathy
  • Peripheral Neuropathy
  • Sensory Neuropathy
  • Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN)
  • Chronic Relapsing Inflammatory Optic Neuropathy (CRION)
