Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Hi @steeldove, can I ask what your source is for numbness and pain together means that both your small and large fiber nerves are involved? I've never read anything where numbness is caused by one and pain by the other. Interesting for me since my symptoms for my diagnosis of idiopathic small fiber PN is numbness only. Thanks for any information you can share!

@johnbishop I was given that information by a osteopathic physician who specializes in osteopathic manual manipulation and who I see for pain management. He explained that one of the fibers is sending to my brain a message that's causing numbness and the other fibers is sending the pain message. Of course, his explanation was much more detailed, but that was the gist of it.
