Just joined the group. I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy at Duke this past march after having the symptoms for 12 years. I've had sporadic chest pain along with leg numbness and pain for many years. My pain is in the area of my sternum which is often very tender to touch. I also have sporadic stomach discomfort with my neuropathy. I've had an equivocal diagnosis of pericarditis in the past but the 6 or so echocardiograms I've had over the years have essentially been normal. It's clear now that the chest pain is nerve related. Since March, I've taken 300 to 900 mg. of Gabapentin per day depending on the level of my symptoms. It definitely seems to take the edge off. Otherwise, ibuprofen seems to help somewhat as do the anti-inflammatory properties of raw ginger. I have good days and bad days and occasionally go a few weeks feeling fairly well and then the leg symptoms and chest pain return with a vengeance. I am a 56 yr old male and also have had CLL for 6 years. I'm otherwise healthy and try to exercise as much as possible.
