I do have the stiff ankles, wrists, and fingers. I have hereditary neuropathy, sometimes the stiffness is the most distracting symptom as my pain is usually well controlled. I am on Baclofen which helps a little, although I take it primarily to prevent rib cage spasms which were very scary and painful. They are usually a symptom of MS, but I am finding that neuropathy can cause a wide variety of unpleasant sensations.
