How to Care for a Loved One with Peripheral Neuropathy

When a loved one is diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, it can be difficult to know how to best provide care. This condition, which is characterized by damage to the nerves, can cause a wide range of symptoms, including pain, numbness, and weakness. However, there are steps that you can take to help your loved one manage their condition and maintain their quality of life.

First, it is important to learn as much as you can about neuropathy. This will allow you to better understand your loved one's condition and how it may progress.
