Does Small Fiber Neuropathy also cause muscle spasms?
Neuropathy | Last Active: Dec 19, 2025 | Replies (63)Comment receiving replies
I have neuropathy and I get muscle cramps - I often wake up with them. My Neurologist said I have RLS in addition to Neuropathy (she has RLS too). I stretch after running or working out, and hydrate. I don't get them every day anymore but now and then it's a horrid way to wake up - hobbling around, yelling in pain, and trying to get the muscles to relax. Peggy

Hi, @pfbacon - your cramps you often awaken with sound painful and challenging to manage. Here's another thread that you may want to check out and post in, specifically about restless legs syndrome https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/is-this-rls-restless-leg-syndrome
