Icy feet and ankles with Small Fiber Neuropathy....anyone?

@lioness I haven’t tried a heating pad and TENS unit. Thank you for the suggestion. I am glad you found a solution. You must have fractures in your spine. Do you also use exercise for nerve cell regeneration? I would imagine you need to be careful and use a low impact cardio workout but some exercises can be performed sitting in a chair to increase your heart rate. Does your doctor offer any advice for additional help to lessen the pain? Since the fractures are causing your neuropathy, preventing fractures will be a more permanent solution rather than using the TENS unit and heating pad to decrease the pain. Will wearing a back brace offer any assistance?

@avmcbellar Thanks for the suggestions. I have done all of them .My first fracture was in 05work fracture then in 19 I was to see a neurosurgeon but the virus hit and I just won't go out and chance it . My PCP has helped me but I found the tens myself and knowing the anatomy of the body I thought it would help and it does. My worst was at night till I started using it in the evening then another thing I found was if I keep my foot raised up ,I have an adjustable bed , best thing I did for myself , anyways this helps also . Didn't have any trouble in adjusting to this way of sleeping . I hope you get relief from your problems.
