Small Fiber Neuropathy: What helps?
Neuropathy | Last Active: Apr 16 9:40am | Replies (274)Comment receiving replies
My name is Jason and I have been diagnosed with ISFN. I am a 45 year old male and do not have diabetes. I wish I did not have ISFN but am looking for others to talk to about life. My feet hurt all day every day and have been tested for everything and all the rest come back good. My pain is in both hands and from my knees down to my feet with the bulk of the pain in my feet.

Hi, @jasont, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll note I've moved your post here and combined it with this existing discussion on small fiber neuropathy.

How do you usually manage the pain in your feet with your daily activities, @jasont? Is there anything that provides some relief?

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,
