peripheral nervous system function - #7131

Lately, I’ve been experiencing tingling and numbness in my hands and feet, and I started looking into what could be causing it. I came across information about the peripheral nervous system function, but I still don’t fully understand how it works. How does the peripheral nervous system function, and what role does it play in everyday movement and sensation? From what I read, the peripheral nervous system function involves carrying messages between the brain and the rest of the body. But how does that actually work? Does it only control movement and reflexes, or does it also affect things like digestion, temperature regulation, and pain perception? I also saw that damage to the peripheral nervous system can cause issues like nerve pain, weakness, and even coordination problems. How do you know if your peripheral nervous system function is being affected? Is numbness and tingling a warning sign, or does it have to be something more severe like muscle weakness? Another thing I’m wondering is what causes problems with the peripheral nervous system function. I don’t have diabetes, but I’ve heard that it can lead to nerve damage. Can things like vitamin deficiencies, infections, or even stress cause issues with the peripheral nervous system? If someone has damage to their peripheral nervous system, can it heal over time, or is the damage permanent? Are there specific treatments or exercises that can improve peripheral nervous system function, or is medication the only option? For anyone who has experienced issues with their peripheral nervous system, what were your symptoms, and what actually helped? I want to figure out if my symptoms are something minor or if I should see a doctor.
