hello, am new here. have had neuropathy for many years now. didn't know what it was when a little numbness or some light pain would bother me till one day ibuprofen wouldn't handle it any more. went to medfast and finally a dr there told me I had periferal neuropathy and said should have been diagnosed years ago. prescribed tramadol and have been taking it for 13 years now. 2 years ago had the needle test done and was told didn't have peripheral but had small fiber neuropathy. any one here also have that?

Welcome @bree010, Peripheral Neuropathy does involve the small fiber nerves so it does sometimes get confusing. At any rate, the bottom line is there are many different treatments and therapies and no cures so we have to figure out as patients what gives us relief. The only way I have found is to learn as much as you can about your condition and the treatment options that are available. You can find more information here:
--- Neuropathy Commons: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/neuropathy-overview
--- Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/
I posted my story in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/. You may also find the following discussion helpful:

Have you tried any other treatments?
