Small Fiber Neuropathy
Hello,
I read these posts about SFN with interest as it so closely aligns with my symptoms of tingling, burning pain mostly in my lower legs and feet.
I did a video appt with Dr Shubiner who confirmed that I had MBS based on my MRI results( stenosis, bulging discs etc but I was 68 years old) and a normal physical exam by a neurologist who attributed my symptoms to the structural back issues. Dr S assured me several times that my back MRI was quite normal for my age and not the cause of my symptoms. I did later read about SFN and started worrying about that....until I read page 70 in Dr Shubiner's book- Unlearn Your Pain in which he clearly states that a diagnosis of SFN means that your nerves are working properly and that you actually have a MINDBODY condition.
