Neuropathy Signs And Symptoms In Portland OR

Do you have signs and symptoms of neuropathy in Portland OR? Neuropathy is also known as peripheral neuropathy because of its effect on the body’s sensory and motor nerves. It is very common for patients to experience the first symptoms in their extremities (hands, arms, legs and feet). When this occurs it is referred to as Sensorimotor Polyneuropathy.


Signs and Symptoms of Neuropathy in Portland OR

  • Experiencing tingling sensations in the extremities. This sensation is also described as a pin and needling feeling or prickling feeling.
  • Burning pain in the lower limbs. Eventually the burning will move into the arms and hands as the condition progresses.
  • Having pains that are sharp and stabbing. Generally these pains are worse in the evening. As the burning sensation, it will begin in the feet and legs and as the condition processes, the “electric-like” pain will move into the hands and arms.

It is also common for patients to develop muscle weakness and coordination problems. The muscles in the limbs may also become paralyzed. Patients also have increased likelihood of developing foot ulcers and infections in the skin. Peripheral neuropathy can occur when there is nerve damage and develop into dysesthesia, which effects a patients’ touch sensation. This often leads to a tingling and/or burning sensation. The skin on the extremities eventually will become so sensitive that the pressure from sheets or towels.

  • Low blood pressure leading to dizziness with rising from a seated or lying position
  • Accelerated heartbeat
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Difficulty swallowing
