Hi : Well here it goes. I hoped off my horse and damaged and partially tear of a tendon. The pain persisted and traveled to my other foot. Weird right. I was diagnosed 12 years ago with Chronic Regional Pain syndrome. Went on Gabapentin and had nerve blocks. I kept searching for an answer. The pain was burning, severe at times. Went to a Neurologist and was told I had Neuropathy. Went on Cymbalta, elavil, and Gabapentin. I lived with it for years. I was a teacher and I had to quit my job because the pain was unbearable. I had a skin biopsy at John Hopkins and it was positive for SFN. Diagnosis was idiopathic non-length SFN Nothing changed. the pain is just getting so bad I have a hard time going to the grocery store, the hard floors I just can not do anymore. I feel deflated at times, the pain is there every day. Thank you - No numbness to speak of

Hi! So good to hear your story. I too was misdiagnosed for years! Putting all the frustration, time spent and money aside, it's the PAIN that we keep fighting. CBD by capsule cuts my pain, but my pain has increased considerably in the last week. I am on another search. I am going to have some acupuncture as another method of lessening the pain. I just want to tolerate it! Also, I am going to find a massage therapist who doesn't want to break the bank. I think that helps the circulation and therefore could lessen the pain. All of this is "could", "maybe" stuff, but problem is "we are all different". Yes, I know. So, we are a special family. In many cases better than our blood relatives ( LOL) Our interests are the same, and that does not necessarily happen in blood relatives. We share in Connect, have J Bishop to jump in and we all want to be better, have less pain and more ideas how to manage that. In the afternoon my feet are screaming and go numb if I drive. Today (first time) my girlfriend is taking me to the Doctors. ( She is between jobs!) So, get fluffy throw rugs, soft but sturdy slippers, thick socks, insoles in your "good" sneakers and let's keep helping each other.
