Peripheral Neuropathy

What is the life expectancy of someone with peripheral neuropathy?

Peripheral Neuropathy + Nerve Pain
November 12, 2025•2 min read

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, it's natural to have concerns about life expectancy. 


The GOOD NEWS is that peripheral neuropathy itself is not typically a life-threatening condition. 


But, 


…the UNDERLYING CAUSE OF YOUR NEUROPATHY and the presence of other health complications can impact your overall life expectancy.


For example, if your neuropathy is caused by a treatable condition like…


…a vitamin deficiency, your life expectancy may not be significantly affected. 


However, if your neuropathy is due to DIABETES, your life expectancy may be impacted by the severity and management of the underlying condition.


The severity of your neuropathy symptoms can also play a role in your overall health and life expectancy. 


If your symptoms are well-managed and do not significantly interfere with your daily activities, your life expectancy may not be greatly affected. 


However, if your symptoms are severe and lead to complications like falls or infections, your life expectancy may be impacted.


Adopting healthy lifestyle habits, such as…


…maintaining a balanced diet


…exercising regularly


…and managing stress, can help improve your overall health and potentially extend your life expectancy, regardless of your peripheral neuropathy diagnosis.
