Neuropathy itself does not directly cause blood clots. However, certain conditions that can lead to neuropathy, such as diabetes, can increase the risk of developing blood clots. Additionally, people with neuropathy may have decreased sensation in their extremities, which can make it more difficult to recognize symptoms of a blood clot, such as swelling and pain. It is important for individuals with neuropathy to closely monitor their health and seek medical attention if they suspect they may have a blood clot.
