Signs and symptoms
Peripheral nerve damage can cause tingling, numbness or weakness.
Causes and types
Causes and subtypes vary. Your medical history, the onset and the pattern of symptoms help guide assessment. The source below provides condition-specific information.
Assessment
A visit includes discussion of symptoms, current medicines and the effect on daily life. Examination and testing depend on your circumstances.
Treatment and follow-up
Care is planned after assessment. Discuss options, benefits and possible risks with the specialist; do not change medicines on your own.
When should you seek care?
Arrange a consultation for new, persistent or disruptive symptoms. Sudden severe symptoms, weakness, speech changes or risk of self-harm require emergency help; do not wait for an appointment.
