G60: Hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy
G60.3: Idiopathic progressive neuropathy
Nerves are a sort of wiring in the body. Nerves conduct information. The nerves use electrical impulses to do this. Nerves are important, for instance, in enabling you to sense contacts and temperatures, and to move your muscles.
Your disorder involves nerve damage. As a result, the skin may feel numb or it may tingle, for example. You may also be in pain or you may no longer be able to move certain muscles properly, for example.
The cause of your disorder is unknown.
