Do you know which stage of NERVE DAMAGE you have?


Peripheral neuropathy is a progressive condition that can WORSEN OVER TIME if left untreated. 


Understanding the 4 stages of peripheral neuropathy can help you recognize the signs and symptoms early on…


Here Are The 4 Stages Of Peripheral Neuropathy…


Stage 1 - Mild

In this early stage, you may experience mild symptoms such as…


…numbness


…tingling


…OR burning sensations in the hands OR feet. 


These symptoms may come and go and maybe more noticeable at night.


Stage Two - Moderate

As neuropathy progresses, the symptoms become more persistent and may start to interfere with daily activities. 


You may experience…


…increased pain


…sensitivity to touch


…and difficulty with fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or tying shoelaces.


Stage Three - Severe

In the severe stage, nerve damage is more extensive, and symptoms are more intense and constant. 


You may experience significant pain, weakness, and muscle cramps. 


Balance and coordination may be affected, increasing the risk of falls.


Stage Four - Complete

In the final stage, there is a total LOSS OF SENSATION in the hands or feet. 


This can lead to a higher risk of injuries and infections, as you may not feel pain or temperature changes. 


Muscle atrophy and weakness can significantly impact mobility and quality of life.


It's essential to note that not everyone with peripheral neuropathy will progress through all four stages, and the rate of progression can vary from person to person.
