What is the differenc between neuropathy and mononeuropathy and what can cause them?

Let me explain: Peripheral neuropathy can affect multiple nerves (polyneuropathy) or only one nerve or nerve group (mononeuropathy) at a time. Mononeuropathy is usually the result of damage to a single nerve or nerve group by trauma, injury, local compression, prolonged pressure, or inflammation. Treatment is the same by medication and some time surgery.

Neuropathy: Is basically the term used to describe damage to a nerve or nerves. This damage can be done by any number of things like metabolic issues, trauma, blood flow issues or autoimmune disease. Mononeuropathy is just a fancy way of saying neuropathy to a single nerve or nerve distribution. I hope this helps!
