Manny, I believe you and I are experiencing the same issues. I know this is difficult and frustrating to say the least. I am new here also and dont have many answers but I would love to speak with you.

I have gone through several blood tests, ultra sound (legs/kidney), MRI of my back and legs, Brain CT scan, EMG test, glucose tolerance test, and a skin biopsy. The doctors have found nothing wrong in any of these testings and the pain is periodically unbearable.
Throughout the day I usually feel a tingly feeling in my legs and slightly in my hands. The sensations are numbness, Burning, tingling, cold throughout the day and are sometimes severe to the point that I just sit down and hope it settles down.
I don't understand what to do! I try to vent feelings by speaking to co-workers/friends about my pain but saying the same thing over again could end up being annoying.
My Doctor believes that I have small fiber neuropathy from the ways I explain my symptoms and by saying I may have had a change in skin density although the levels are still in the normal range.
The next testing that I am advised to take is an MRI of my brain and cervical spine to view my nervous system.
I am not much of a person who visits forums for discussions but I feel it is just a relief knowing someone else may be out there with the same problems and can offer some advice. This very second the burning is very severe and I feel random pain throughout different segments of my body (upper thigh/ankles). I also feel a cold feeling in my legs and a cramp like feeling around my groin.
If anyone has some advice for me or something to relate with me please let me know!
