John, I am interested in how/where you got your diagnosis of small fiber peripheral neuropathy. I have been diagnosed with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy,which much of it has "faded". However, now it has moved into my right foot with a "vengeance" and am wondering if it has something to do with my torn fascia injury of 15 years ago. Also experiencing much muscle weakness in right leg, balance issues and fatigue, so appreciate the link to terry wahls. Mrs. N

Hello @lavendoor, welcome to Connect. I was diagnosed with idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy at the Rochester Mayo Clinic. I posted my PN story earlier on Connect here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/anyone-here-dealing-with-peripheral-neuropathy/?pg=42#comment-65985

@jenniferhunter has a discussion here on Connect which may be beneficial as you mentioned you had a torn fascia injury 15 years ago.

Have you tried any therapy to help with strength and balance issues?
