Neuropathy is a frustrating pain condition that requires careful medical management. Dr. Rebecca Kerr can help patients with neuropathy; she practices at the California Pain Institute and serves the Torrance and Los Angeles area.
Neuropathic pain occurs when nerves in the peripheral nervous system are injured or become damaged. The nerve fibers themselves are actually damaged, dysfunctional or injured, which makes them send false signals to pain centers in the brain. In addition, nerve function changes, both at the site of the injury and in areas around the injury. Neuropathy is most common in people who have diabetes, and it is caused by damage to the cells as a result of the disease. It can also result from excessive alcohol use, injury, infection, medical illnesses including kidney and thyroid disease, some medications especially chemotherapy, and exposure to lead or toxins.
