Its just been two weeks, could this be Small fiber neuropathy?

It’s varied. I find in my feet it’s more burning. Especially when I’m wearing tighter shoes and or sitting for longer periods of time. The pain I feel more in the lower calf’s It’s like a cramping , tightness like I have to stretch my calf’s. Sometimes in the morning when it’s cold I feel some sharper pains in lower calf’s. I also get the same tightness feeling in my hamstrings. Not sure if that’s more from sitting at my desk but they feel tight and crampy at times

@mdemo - Yes - tight shoes and sitting can also be problematic for me. Most of the pain in my feet is a deep ache and stiffness. For many years I only felt it in the morning, but over time it became ongoing. Interestingly enough, I got up this morning and was already dressed and on my way downstairs before I realized I had no pain and no stiffness in my feet - so 500 mg is working!
The reason I ask about the type of pain is that I *thought* SFN would only cause superficial pain (e.g. burning at the skin level) - but much of the pain I feel seems to be much deeper than that... Sounds like I'm not alone in feeling a deeper pain.
