You may have peripheral nerve damage- peripheral neuropathy is damage to the peripheral nerves. These are the nerves that connect your spinal cord to the rest of your body.
Diseases that can damage peripheral nerves include (but are not limited to):
Diabetes ( type 1 or type 2 )
Alcoholism
AIDS
Lyme disease
Rheumatoid arthritis
Uremia from chronic kidney failure
Autoimmune disorders
Hypothyroidism
Viral infections (such as hepatitis )
Compression commonly occurs when nerves are pinched or trapped somewhere along their course, such as:
Carpal tunnel syndrome (nerve in the wrist)
Sciatica (nerve roots forming the sciatic nerve in the back of the legs as they exit the spine)
