Thanks for all your experiences. I am not on any meds yet have only doing natural remedies such as multivitamins with ALA and essential oils. They seem to help but find the PN is getting stronger in my feet. I also not sure what kind of doctor to go to. A Neurologist or or a pain management spine doctor ? Any suggestions?

Good evening. You are absolutely right, PN or SFN (small fiber neuropathy) is a progressive condition. Since my diagnosis 9 years ago, my feet have gone from being consistently sturdy and comfortable to being one of my "quality of life issues".

In order to keep my driver's license I have two MFR (myofascial release) sessions every week and use a cannabis balm at night. There are solution possibilities available now and you will undoubtedly see more developments in the future.

What type of clinician would I choose again......a neurologist with a passion for discovering solutions. I have had very good care from the two I have seen.

You are gathering information now that will help you on this journey. That's a good thing.
And that is what makes Connect such a great resource. More questions?

Chris
