what is perifial neuropathy?
147567
Peripheral neuropathy is injury to any peripheral nerve or nerves.  A peripheral nerve is one that is outside the central nervous system.  In the U.S., commonly peripheral neuropathy is used synonymously with polyneuropathy, meaning a single process affecting multiple peripheral nerves.  However, elsewhere such as some parts of Europe, the term peripheral neuropathy is used more broadly as defined in the first sentence above.  For instance, in some countries, medical professionals would designate carpal tunnel syndrome as one type of peripheral neuropathy.

Neurotrophic keratopathy is a degenerative disease characterized by decreased corneal sensitivity and poor corneal healing. This disease leaves the cornea susceptible to injury and decreases reflex tearing. Epithelial breakdown can lead to ulceration, infection, melting, and perforation secondary to poor healing.\n\n\nPathophysiology: The common factor in all cases of neurotrophic keratopathy is corneal hypesthesia. Sensory nerves exert a trophic influence on the corneal epithelium. The sensory neuromediators, acetylcholine, substance P, and calcitonin gene-related peptide, have been shown to increase epithelial cell proliferation in vitro. \n\nDenervation results in decreased cell metabolism, increased permeability, decreased levels of acetylcholine, and decreased cell mitosis. Because a continuous turnover of corneal epithelial cells occurs, this can lead to an epithelial defect even in the absence of injury. Sympathetic neuromediators and prostaglandins decrease epithelial cell mitosis. In fact, ipsilateral sympathetic denervation appears to mitigate the effects of corneal sensory denervation.\n\n\nFrequency: \n\n\nIn the US: Of anesthetic corneas, 15% will develop serious complications. Of the 40,000-60,000 cases of herpes zoster ophthalmicus occurring each year, 50% will have ocular involvement. Of these, 16% will demonstrate some form of neurotrophic keratopathy. \nMortality/Morbidity: \n\nBlurred vision secondary to epithelial irregularity, neovascularization, or corneal scarring \nSecondary infection of nonhealing epithelial defects \nCorneal perforation following stromal melting \nRace: No racial differences exist. \n\nSex: No gender differences exist. \n\nAge: Incidence of neurotrophic keratopathy increases with age.

see doctor. you might have a Morton's Neuroma. I've had several, there very painful.

you have the same thing i have. its called peripheral neuropathy, my feet burns so bad its like walking on hot coals, i can take ice cubes and put them against my feet and i cannot even feel it. they want me to take lyrica and pamelor but no way. my advice to you is to see a neurologist. my feet swells up like you say. now mine has moved to other parts of my body face and hand jabbing pains in my feet. before you take that crap look it up on the internet if you dont know how i will do it for you. right now im taking neurontin, it helps me at night but not much. there is no known cure its from nerve damage. the pain you feel is nerve pain its not like ordinary pain. if you want more info feel free to email me.

There are multiple issues that cause poor wound healing in poorly controlled DM.  Increased food source for bacteria (they eat simple sugar), decreased small-vessel circulation - which means normal defenses can't get to the wound/infection site as easily and when they arrive the outflow to carry away waste is blocked as well.  Lastly, if neuropathy is present, you can't feel as much discomfort in wounded areas - thus loosing another protective mechanism to avoid re-injury or re-opening of wounds.\nTight control is really important.

there's an obstruction on the nerves that causes your eyes to function abnormally

First of all when a person is diabetic, using tight control of blood sugars will help a lot with neuropathy pain. If blood sugar is out of control, even a little, it makes the neuropathy a lot worse. \n\nMy Neurologist has me taking Cymbalta 60mg once a day and Lyrica 50mg three times a day. \nCymbalta helps with stabbing pain. \nLyrica with burning. \n\nCymbalta and Lyrica work very well together for peiripheral neuropathy. In my experience, narcotic type drugs like hydrocodone don't help this condition very much at all and are a waste of money.\n\nFor out of control pain, I soak my feet in icy cold water for about 20 minutes. that really helps when my feet burn really bad. I also ice pack them. If you don't have ice packs, a bag of frozen veggies work nicely. Distrtactions will sometimes help as well. Not passive things like TV, but something that will keep my mind busy enough to ignore the pain. It doesn't always work, but is worth a try. For stabbing pain, I try to massage the spot where the pain is. Sometimes it is so bad I fall. For me Cymbalta has really helped here.\n\nAnd even though it hurts, walking as much as I can even just up and down the block or around the house can help. (But it sometimes hurts like the dickens)\n\nNeuropathy is a miserable condition, and my best wishes go to both you and your son. It is hard to live with chronic pain, and hard to care for someone who has this condition. Bless you both.

Peripheral Neuropathy refers to loss of function of the peripheral nervous system (which provides motor and sensory input to the skin and extremities) - as opposed to the central nervous system (brain and spoinal cord).\n\nCauses of peripheral neuropathy can include diabetes, vascular diseases, and toxins among others.  It often begins with the longest nerves (which tend to be the ones that innervate your toes), which is why people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy have so much foot trouble.\n\nYou can learn more here:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_neuropathy

a pinched nerve perhaps?

I'm not a doctor and the best way to overcome your problem is to consult your doctor.\n\nAnyway, individual with diabetes will develop certain complications. Numbness, tingling sensation, diminished sensation, followed by complete lost of sensation of hands and feet are some of them. This is known as diabetic neuropathy. The nerves of the hands and feet are dying. This is an irreversible process but its progress can be slowed by strict control of blood sugar.\n\nIf you are diagnosed with this complication, you MUST take care your hands and feet. Keep them clean. Wear good shoes and gloves. Check for injury daily. This is because you cant feel pain when you injured your hands or feet. If not, the wound can become more and more severe and ultimately, amputation is the only cure.\n\nConsult your doctor if you have any doubt or problem. Don't waste time finding answer on-line. Get help from the expert.

See;  Guillain-Barre.com, also check into  nih.gov (National Institute on Health), &  cdc.gov  .  Rapid onset weakness, sometimes paralyzing legs, arms, face, breathing muscles or, creating strage sensations in those areas.  It's not known what causes it.  I'm a Nurse though I no longer work....I've seen one case of it myself. I renewed my info on it at the above websites.

I don't suffer from that problem, but it sounds like you may have neuropathy. Have you ever been tested for diabetes?   Diabetes is the one of the most common causes of neuropathy, however it could be something else. I'm definitely not trying to diagnose you or scare you but it would be a good idea to get tested. If it is neuropathy (no matter what the cause) there are great medications to treat it.  I definitely think you should have this condition evaluated by a physician when you get a chance.\n\nBrian PharmD, RPh

I had that sort of thing a few weeks ago, doctor said it was a trapped nerve and he reffered my to a physio.\nSo have a word with your doc.

If it is really persistant go to a doctor but on the whole it is just an electrical feed back thing between nerves. I get it sometimes when I have been doing something like lots of computer work.

It may be a sign of nerve damage.  See your doctor.

How does peroneal tendonitis occur? Excessive pronation of the foot places stress on the peroneal tendon by causing the tendon to have to work to hard to provide foot stability. Foot stability occurs when the mid foot is "locked up" during the push-off phase of gait. The cuboid and other midfoot bones will be "unlocked" if pronation of the foot continues as the foot is pushing off. As the foot over-pronates, the tendon is over-stretched, resulting in inflammation and localized sharp pain.
