One patient with diabetic neuropathy walked on a broken ankle for two weeks without knowing it. Others, unknowingly, have foot ulcers (bleeding sores) on the soles of their feet. What type of neuron is damaged in this patient?
Answer:
It's called distal axonopathy. The nerves literally die and there's no feeling, so the patients don't even know there's a problem.
yes..Peripheral neuropathy causes either pain or loss of feeling in the toes, feet, legs, hands, and arms...
