Whether you can live a long life with nerve damage depends on the severity of your symptoms.
According to research, here's a breakdown:
- Mild Nerve Damage: Patients with mild symptoms of nerve damage may have a normal life expectancy.
- Severe Nerve Damage: Those with severe symptoms may have a shorter lifespan. This is because severe peripheral neuropathy can impact a person's ability to perform daily activities and increase the risk of falls and other accidents, which can impact overall health and longevity. (05-May-2023)
In summary, while nerve damage doesn't automatically shorten your life, the severity of the condition and its impact on your overall health are the determining factors.
