Most people have experienced the strange sensation of pins and needles in their extremities when they’ve been sitting too long. For those with peripheral neuropathy, these symptoms are often just the tip of the iceberg. Put simply, neuropathy is classified as any numbness, muscle weakness, and/or pain. Peripheral neuropathy specifically refers to these symptoms in extremities, like the hands and feet. No one likes the feeling of uncomfortable shoes.
