5.Losing Balance
In addition to dulling your sense of touch, nerve damage can result in muscle weakness or affect your sense of balance. Either of these could lead to falls. Assistive devices — like braces, canes or walkers — may help. Physical and occupational therapy may also help.
6.Unseen Injuries
Nerve damage doesn’t just cause pain. It may also cause numbness that may prevent you from feeling pain when it matters. People with nerve damage sometimes injure themselves without realizing it. Your doctor may recommend that you check yourself for injuries regularly — especially your feet.
