Small fiber neuropathy?

I have neuropathy. It affects my calves to my toes. I was diagnosed years ago with small fiber neuropathy via a punch biopsy in my calf. It has progressively gotten worse. I saw a neurologist who ordered a nerve conductive study involving the lumbar down to and including my feet. That showed that now I have dvn which is causing a lot more pain, numbness and tingling in my feet and toes. MRI's showed that I also have lumbar herniated discs and radiculopathy. This may be an attributing factor in my neuropathy. I am now in my third week of lumbar spinal decompression every day. It seem to be having a good effect on this issue. Hopefully as time progresses, that techique will have conquered this issue. Due to the cervical spine having the same issue, I have pain, numbness and tingling in my hands and fingers. I hope to undergo cervical spinal decompression there also. I wish you hugs, bravery, and peace. Topricin Fibro Cream helps a lot with my nerve pain.

What is DVN?

Is the decompression you refer to done with a physical therapist? Reason I ask is because my therapist would take a long strap and hook it up around my foot (sneaker on) and do gentle tugging and swaying left to right on both legs one at a time each session. I’m not sure what it’s called but am wondering if it’s a form of decompression. Being that I know nothing about the therapy which you mention. I looked it up and found surgical intervention.

Hugs, bravery and peace - yes please!

is the top ricin like lidocaine cream?

Thank you and feel better.
