1) Symptoms usually creep forward
More numbness, burning, pins-and-needles, and sensitivity changes over time. (NINDS)

2) Sleep gets hammered
Neuropathic pain commonly disrupts sleep, which then worsens pain perception the next day. (ScienceDirect, PMC)

3) Balance confidence drops; fall risk rises
Loss of sensation and vibration sense increases falls and near-falls—especially in older adults. (PMC, PubMed, Frontiers)

4) Foot problems can snowball (especially with diabetes)
Delayed care → unnoticed injuries/ulcers → infection → higher chance of amputation if things progress. (NCBI, PMC)

5) Daily function and quality of life shrink
People report limits in walking, standing, hobbies, and overall well-being. Mood and anxiety often worsen. (Nature, PMC)

6) Heavier reliance on pain meds without addressing nerve function
Drugs like gabapentin/pregabalin/duloxetine may help pain for some, but results vary and they don’t restore nerve function. (Patients should never change meds without their prescriber.) (ScienceDirect, Mayo Clinic Proceedings, PMC)

7) Hidden injuries are easier to miss
Reduced sensation means burns, cuts, or shoe-related wounds can go unnoticed and worsen. (
