Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: Surgery needed after SFN diagnosis
Neuropathy | Last Active: Jan 12 7:32am | Replies (14)Comment receiving replies
I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy with no known cause. I am hyper sensitive to medication and touch. I do have hereditary charcuterie Marie tooth disease in my family. I am waiting for a consult with Dr Klein to run hereditary test. As of right now I am facing a surgery for fusions of C5 -7 due to pinched nerves. I have a second opinion with Dr. Scott Swasey at Mayo in Rochester.
Has anyone worked with him or been in my type of situation?

I had a cervical fusion which helped my arms and hands but still have PN in my feet and legs. So far it’s been 6 months and no improvement in my legs. Cymbalta and lyrica does help.
