I am a 55 year old female with idiopathic small fiber neuropathy and spinal stenosis/degenerative disc disease and osteoarthritis. I’ve had cervical and lumbar decompression surgeries.

Have you seen a neurologist and been tested for small fiber neuropathy with a skin punch biopsy? They usually take samples of tissue at upper thigh, calf or ankle. Managing your diabetes is the best thing you could do to prevent the worsening of your neurological symptoms.

Have you had extensive bloodwork done for neuropathy to see if you are deficient or at toxic levels of vitamins? Have you had full iron and thyroid panels done? Have you been tested for viruses that stay dormant in your body but affect your central/peripheral nervous when reactivated (like Epstein Barr/mononucleosis, Herpes simplex, chickenpox/Shingles, etc.). Did you have the COVID virus or any reaction to the mRNA injections?

It is possible that your surgery in your spine impacted a nerve that inner area your groin/legs. Have you had updated MRIs of your spine post surgery? You may want a neurologist to do EMG/Nerve conduction studies to check lower limb large nerve fiber health.

Good luck getting help and answers.
