Muscle Spams and Neuropathy
I was diagnosed last year with small and large fiber neuropathy. Originally, the neurologist said that he thought it was a slow-moving peripheral neuropathy. Since then, it has been suggested that this is an atypical polyneuropathy. And things are advancing at a pretty regular basis.
One symptom that has increased significantly over the last couple of months is muscle spasms. I am having them in my lower leg and foot and there is one spasm in particular that just won't stop. It is beginning to last longer and longer. For those of you that have neuropathy, is this a common symptom?

Recently instead of just pain in my feet now I have electrical impulses that make my foot like restless leg syndrome and then others that turn my ankle so it's very painful and I have to get up out of bed and stand to get it better. I didn't think I'd have to worry about this but now I do since it happens all the time. I wish there was something that could be done more than what I'm trying now. I have a new doctor so perhaps I will get some answers. Good luck to you and keep trying to get new answers
