Peripheral Neuropathy and benign fasciculation syndrome.

I have had Benign Fasciculations all over my body for almost 20 years (normal NCS-EMG). In Sept 2021 I developed foot pain and was diagnosed (by NCS-EMG) with Idiopathic PN in my feet. It seems the fasciculations and foot pain go hand in hand. When I get lots of fasciculations I get an increase in foot pain and when they subside my foot pain is always goes down. When I told my Neurologist about this she did not react at all. Told me that it could be related. Is there anyone out there with the same symptoms? It feels very weird.

@dbchip I have right leg PN and fasiculations- feels like spiders dancing on my lower leg, then stops after awhile. At times I get a stinging sensation just in my (R) big toe. If things start to really hurt, I “march” in place and that seems to reset things. This has been going on since 2017, lots of tests and MD/neuro/ortho visits. I think the symptoms are all related to my nervous system going a bit haywire and I just need to deal with it day by day, there are no good answers.
