Hi Trish @cocodab, welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing. I have small fiber peripheral neuropathy but only have the numbness and no pain. It must be difficult deal with the pain but I'm hoping you can take a little comfort in knowing you are not alone and there are other members here with similar stories. @jenniferhunter may be able to share some suggestions with you on helping with the pain. She started a great discussion on Myofascial Release Therapy that may be helpful to you.

Are you taking any medications for the pain? Have you tried any other treatments or therapy to help with the pain?
