Once you get (if you do) the SFN diagnosis that is only the start. Now you have to find what is causing it. Be relentless! In order to treat SFN you need to find the cause or you will only be treating the symptoms as you are now. I am on your same path and found a doctor to work with me. I see progress but it is not overnight. This is almost 3 years for me.
You may not be missing much and further, be disappointed with the SFN ‘study.’ I had it a couple of years ago and all it did was confirm what I already knew - where the pain was and that nerves were dying for some reason. The results come after probing an area (my feet) with needles and electrodes for an hour. It was tolerable but not very comfortable and didn’t do much other than prove to the doctor what I had outlined.
