The Risks of Untreated Peripheral Neuropathy: Potential Complications and Consequences

Peripheral neuropathy, if left untreated, can lead to severe complications and consequences. Common long-term effects include permanent nerve damage, muscle wasting, foot ulcers, and severe pain. Painful peripheral neuropathy can also cause the loss of sensation in the feet or hands, leading to an increased risk of developing severe health conditions such as infections, amputation, and even death.

In addition to the physical effects, peripheral neuropathy can also have psychological effects. People suffering from this condition often experience depression, anxiety, and stress due to physical pain and debilitation. Treatment for peripheral neuropathy depends on the cause and severity of the disease.
