Neuropathy and Neuralgia
Penetran+Plus is doctor and pharmacist recommended for the relief of pain and discomfort associated with neuropathy, including painful peripheral neuropathy and idiopathic peripherial neurpathy, and neuralgia. A regular routine of applying Penetran+Plus four times daily will reduce the associated pain and symptoms.
What Is Peripheral Neuropathy
The name of the condition tells you a bit about what it is:
Peripheral: Beyond (in this case, beyond the brain and the spinal cord.)
Neuro: Related to the nerves
Pathy: Disease
Put these concepts together and this is what painful peripheral neuropathy means: It refers to the conditions that result when nerves that connect to the brain and spinal cord from the rest of the body are damaged or diseased.
The peripheral nerves make up an intricate network that connects the brain and spinal cord to the muscles, skin, and internal organs. Peripheral nerves come out of the spinal cord and are arranged along lines in the body called dermatomes. Typically, damage to a nerve will affect one or more dermatomes, which can be tracked to specific areas of the body. Damage to these nerves interrupts communication between the brain and other parts of the body and can impair muscle movement, prevent normal sensation in the arms and legs, and cause pain.
Nerve pain, which also called neuralgia, follows the path of specific nerves. Painful peripheral neuropathy is classified as idiopathic peripheral neuropathy if doctors aren't able to determine the root cause of the ailment.
Types of Peripheral Neuropathy
There are many different kinds of painful peripheral neuropathy with many different causes. They range from carpal tunnel syndrome (an injury common after chronic repetitive use of the hands and wrists, such as computer use) to Guillain-Barre syndrome (a rare, sudden paralysis). As a group, peripheral neuropathies are common, especially among people over the age of 55. All together 3% to 4% of people in this group suffer some sort of neuralgia. Neuropathies are typically classified according to the problems they cause or what is at the root of the damage. There also are terms that express how extensively the nerves have been damaged. They include autonomic neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy and idiopathic peripheral neuropathy
