No I only feel some little quick jabs in my feet. I asked because I met with my neurologist this week and he told me my EMGs were fine and I do t have PN. I was confused and asked him about SNF and he said I don’t think you have that either because you don’t have any burning symptoms. Well I have prickling and stinging in my forearms so I asked for a biopsy. I have to wait till 10/15. He also commented that it makes no difference because treatment would be the same . I still want to know . I asked you because I was sure you didn’t have any burning but still have SFN.

I'm wondering if the prickling and stinging in your forearms might be associated with carpal tunnel syndrome? I also have that in my hands. The left is worse than the right and sometimes when I sleep on my sides at night the hands and arms will get that prickly stinging feeling but I can usually shake it off within a few minutes. I was tested and diagnosed with severe carpal tunnel in my left wrist and had a shot but it didn't help much. They offered surgery but I wanted to hold off since I was more afraid of making it worse and it's not that bad right now.
