6. Peripheral Neuropathy
Our nervous system travels throughout our bodies. It forms a branch like structure as it radiates out from the center, with nerves covering every part of our bodies. These nerves allow information to be sent to and from the brain, and this gives us the ability to touch and feel everything around us.
If a problem was to develop with this network, then the sensations in the outer parts of the body can be affected. This is a condition known as peripheral neuropathy, and it can result in symptoms like numbness and/or tingling sensations in the extremities. It can be a symptom of something serious, so it should always be checked out.
