Diabetic nerve pain of the feet and you
What happens when diabetic nerve pain of the feet occurs
Diabetic nerve pain of the feet, also known as painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy (PDPN) of the feet, occurs if nerves are damaged as a result of diabetes. Damaged nerves cannot correctly transmit signals from the skin to the brain, causing the signals to become exaggerated, and creating the chronic pain you may be feeling.
- Although diabetic nerve pain can affect any nerve, it's most commonly felt in the feet
- Patients have described diabetic nerve pain of the feet as "shooting" or "stabbing"
