Good morning @sma2day and @dancing1
Hi there to both of you, so glad to see you on Connect. It sounds like you may have a need for some massage attention. So let me introduce you to MFR, (myofascial release therapy). The massage has been a salvation for me since my SFN diagnosis 10 years ago. And one of our mentors has developed a discussion that you might find helpful. Here's the Connect link:

If @jenniferhunter has a chance to read your posts today, maybe she can step in with an introduction,
What areas of your body are most impacted by SFN symptoms?
May you be safe, protected, and free of inner and outer harm.
Chris

@sma2day and @dancing1 Chris and I have both benefited a lot from MFR. The therapist will press in with their hands and push any number of directions while maintaining the hold. This is to make a shearing motion on the layers under the skin, and they just hold it and wait for the tissue to loosen and release. This brings fluids and oxygen into stuck dehydrated tissues and gets it all moving again. Sometimes this can be a reason behind neuropathy if there is a physical aspect to it.
There is a provider search at https://www.mfrtherapists.com/.
