Focal Neuropathies
Focal Neuropathies Is Another Source of Jaw Pain. There are basically four types of neuropathies and these are the autonomic, peripheral, focal and proximal. The kind of neuropathy that affects the jaw area is referred to as the focal neuropathy. Nerve damage can also develop over time for those with diabetes. Although nerve damage or neuropathy may not be showing any symptoms, almost 70 percent of diabetes patients developed neuropathy may show symptoms of numbness, pain in the jaw, tingling or even a loss of feeling in the extremities, digestive tract, organs, as well as the facial features and most especially in the jaw area. Most of the neuropathies will usually occur in people who have been diagnosed with diabetes for at least 25 years. It can also occur in patients who have fluctuating blood glucose levels, including those facing problems with weight and blood pressure.
