Worker`s Compensation - neuropathy


Expert: James Saylor - 6/2/2008

Question
can you tell me what neuropathy means? Can you get that from work?   thanks

Answer
here is a clip from a site about Neuropathy.

Peripheral Neuropathy is one of the most common diseases most people have never heard of…in fact, upwards of 20 million Americans have it.  

Peripheral neuropathy is caused by damage to your body’s peripheral nerves. This damage disrupts the body’s ability to communicate with its muscles, skin, joints, or internal organs.  It is like the body’s wiring system breaking down.  If ignored, neuropathy can lead to numbness, pain, weakness and incoordination.  However, if it is diagnosed and treated early, peripheral neuropathy can often be controlled, slowing the disease’s progression.

It looks like its something you can get from work. Hope this helps.
