“Neuropathy” is the term used by medical professionals to describe nerve damage that interferes with the function of your body’s peripheral nervous system (PNS). When the cause of this nerve damage can’t be determined, it is referred to as idiopathic progressive neuropathy.
Causes of Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy has many potential causes. Nerve damage can occur as a result of traumatic injuries, infections, exposure to toxic substances such as the ones used during chemotherapy or radiation, and even genetics or inherited medical conditions. For example, an extremely common cause of neuropathy is diabetes.
Idiopathic progressive neuropathy occurs when none of these causes are present or a medical professional is unable to determine the specific cause of nerve damage.
Symptoms of Idiopathic Neuropathy
While the symptoms of idiopathic progressive neuropathy can vary from patient to patient, the most common symptoms of this condition include:
- Numbness
- Tingling and burning sensations in the affected areas, most commonly in the hands and feet
- Abnormal sensations such as “pins and needles” pain (otherwise known as paresthesias
- Inability to feel pain, touch, or temperatures
- Lack of coordination
- Loss of reflexes
And more.
Symptoms can progress quickly in severe cases of idiopathic progressive neuropathy. If left untreated, more severe nerve damage can occur over time, causing pain to intensify and lowering the chances of a patient being able to find an effective method of treatment to alleviate all symptoms.
