Aching legs from Small Fiber Neuropathy

Hi Rachel
I did find one paper on the relationship of PN and arthritis.
I don't think I'm allowed to write hyperlinks on the forum, so here is the name:
"Peripheral Nerve Fibers and Their Neurotransmitters
in Osteoarthritis Pathology"
I think you'll find it if you google the name. It's a bit dense.
I think I'll forward it to my neurologist, see what he thinks.
It sort of doesn't matter, since they can't do anything about it.
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else reading this if they have noticed rapid deterioration of osteoarthritis.
Thanks for the kind thoughts.
Jeff

Hi @jeffrapp and @rwinney -- Here's the article Jeff was referring to:

Peripheral Nerve Fibers and Their Neurotransmitters in Osteoarthritis Pathology
-- https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/18/5/931

I can relate to it but I'm really not sure. I have osteopenia and degenerative disc disease. I've had trouble walking the past 4 or 5 years and it has gotten continually worse. @artscaping tagged me in a discussion on Camptocormia - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/camptocormia/?pg=5#comment-339304 which fit my symptoms to a T. My wife has told me I walked like an old man when I was in my 50s and now in my 70s it's become worse. I found more information on it and am planning to discuss it with my doctor at my next physical in the Spring to see if there is a treatment/therapy that will help before I get into the upright walker needed stage -- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6075991/

Thank you for sharing the article. Hoping I can take a deep dive reading and trying to understand this weekend.
John
