What is Neuropathy?
Neuropathy is a neurological disorder, which has recently been linked to Fixodent induced zinc poisoning. The symptoms of denture cream neuropathy may include:
- tingling, numbness, burning, or pain in the extremities
- paralysis or loss of ability to move arms, hands, legs or feet
- muscular weakness
- poor balance and coordination
- abnormal blood pressure and heart rate
- constipation and bladder dysfunction
- decrease in walking stride
Severe cases of neuropathy can even result in permanent disability and paralysis.
In addition to neuropathy, zinc poisoning can potentially cause other neurological problems such as:
Dysesthesias: Abnormal sensations that occur when a patient touches something. Patients may experience burning, wetness, itching, shocks, “pins and needles”, or other uncomfortable sensations in their extremities.
Paresthesias: Spontaneous feelings of numbness, pinching, sharp, deep stabs, electric shocks, pinching or buzzing in the arms. Symptoms may also include feelings of cold, warmth, burning, itching, and skin crawling.
Anemia: A blood disorder characterized by low red blood cell count.
Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes: Disorders of the hematopoietic stem cells.
