If Your Peripheral Neuropathy Seems To Be Getting Worse, This Research May Explain Why
New findings suggest that a lesser-known internal process — not circulation or aging — may be quietly accelerating nerve damage in adults over 55.

Have You Noticed These Subtle Changes?
Peripheral neuropathy rarely begins suddenly.
For many adults over 55, it starts quietly.
A mild tingling in the toes.
A burning sensation at night.
A feeling like your feet are “asleep.”
Over time, some individuals report these sensations gradually moving upward — affecting balance and mobility.
What Researchers Are Studying Now
Recent clinical observations have examined how vitamin deficiencies may contribute to elevated levels of an enzyme known as MMP13.
When elevated, this enzyme may affect the protective coating surrounding nerve fibers — called myelin.
When myelin is compromised, sensations like tingling and numbness may intensify.
Some Health Educators Refer To This As “Sticky Plaque”
While not a formal diagnosis, the term describes internal buildup that may interfere with healthy nerve signaling.
Understanding this possible mechanism may help explain why some treatments focus only on symptom management.
