    Peripheral neuropathy may first be considered when an individual reports symptoms of numbness, tingling, and pain in feet.

    Pressure on the nerves can cause tingling sensations, numbness, pain, weakness, muscle atrophy and even paralysis of the affected area. In normal individuals, these symptoms disappear quickly, but in sufferers of HNPP even a short period of pressure can cause the symptoms to occur.
