It’s happening more often these days. You sometimes feel weak, and the tingling in your toes makes it hard to keep your balance.
You might have neuropathy — a big word for nerve damage. Your nerves are like cables carrying electrical signals all over your body. When the cables get damaged, the electricity can’t flow where it needs to, and they can short-circuit. When that happens, you can have pain, numbness, tingling and muscle weakness.
At Cleveland Clinic, our neurology experts are specialists in diagnosing and treating neuropathy. We can help manage the short circuits when they happen. From testing to treatment, we’ll be by your side — guiding you and supporting you through your entire care journey.
