I keep fumbling and dropping lids to water bottles and other items. When I climb the stairs to my apartment, I often feel like I am going to fall backwards and grab the rail. If I go out in the cold air, my fingers tingle for hours afterwards. What in the world is wrong with me?

According to the American Cancer Society, the definition of peripheral neuropathy is, “a set of symptoms caused by damage to the nerves that are away from the brain and spinal cord called peripheral nerves.” If you have this condition you may experience tingling, numbness, weakness, less ability to feel hot and cold and other symptoms. The cause is often chemotherapy and called chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN).
This condition can also cause dizziness and constipation if it affects any internal organs. Additionally, muscle weakness, cramping and spasms can occur if the muscles become involved.
