Good evening @mrsharky28, and welcome to Connect. First of all, my name is also Chris.....short for Christie. I am sorry that your introduction to pain on your left side keeps jumping around and progressing in severity. Can you explain that a bit more thoroughly? When you say jumping around do you mean just on your left side or from one side to another? I remember when my symptoms began on just the toes of my right foot. That wasn't too bad until my entire foot was numb and painful. I was concerned about being able to drive. In the last few years, the pain and numbness have also "attacked" my left foot and started their journey up to my ankles and onto my calves and knees.

Have you been using prednisone? What other supplements have you found helpful? I want to introduce you to @johnbishop who has numbness but no pain with his diagnosed SFN (small fiber neuropathy). He has great experience with supplements and may be able to add to your treatment options.

In these last two years, have you also developed any "tingle tangles" in your feet or legs? I am wondering if you have been asked to try gabapentin. What about sleeping......are you able to get enough rest at this time? Do you engage in any stretch Yoga or other exercise programs, e.g. walking? There is one yoga stretch called "legs up the wall" that I do every morning.......just to let my legs know I am ready to use them and expect their cooperation.

Would you be able to share with me the way in which your diagnosis was determined? Did you have a skin punch biopsy.....or EMG testing?

Finding answers that measure up to give you a positive quality of life is very important. This forum stands ready to help you as members commit to sharing experiences that may not help everyone......but just may help you.

When is your next appointment with a neurology specialist or other medical professional?

May you be safe, protected, and free from inner and outer harm.
Chris
