Neuropathy strictly speaking is any disease that affects the neurons of the nervous system. In practice it is recognized as a peripheral disorder, potentially affecting nerves anywhere except the brain or the spinal cord.
Types
The four major forms of nerve damage are polyneuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, mononeuropathy, and mononeuritis multiplex. The most common form is peripheral polyneuropathy, which mainly affects the feet and legs.
