would small fiber neuropathy make your fingers and arms feel REALLY heavy and fatigued? this is my no. 1 complaint. i cant double click on a mouse because my arm is so heavy.

my feet are normal

i know all about thoracic outlet, my sx dont totally match up with that either. im confused
I do have some of what you describe, in fact I just completed eight weeks of physical therapy to try and improve strength and range of motion, with limited results. Final diagnosis- related to my CMT-( hereditary sensory motor neuropathy with large and small fiber damage). My biggest difficulty is with anything that involves raising arms above shoulder, getting dressed , reaching behind me, etc.
SFN can cause nearly any symptom it seems.
