Small Fiber Neuropathy: What helps?

Hi @jasont. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. This is a great place to meet others and exchange stories, as well as reading information that is posted throughout the site.

I was diagnosed with severe SFN in 2015. (Also idiopathic). I am so sorry you are suffering with this pain. I can relate.

Are you seeing a Neurologist? Have you tried anything topical to try and alleviate your pain? Can you describe your pain - tingling, pains and needles, sharp, sunburn skin feeling, etc.? Do you have any numbness?

Please know that you are not alone. There are quite a few members who have this diagnosis and will chime in and offer support.

Best wishes for less pain over the weekend,

TeeTee

My pain is everything from burning to sharp lightning bolts to pins and needles to aching. my feet are around 75% numb and the numbness runs up the outside of each leg to my knee. My pain is always and it sucks. Thanks for your kind words and it is GREAT to know that i am not alone ( not that i want anyone else to have ISFN)
