Hello and thanks for reading!
About three years ago I started to notice a burning sensation on my legs between the knees and ankles primarily on the outer sides. This would come and go for the first two years, several months and then return.
Over the past year I think it has become more frequent.
Here's the strange part. For the most part, I only notice the burning at night when I initially get into bed and cover my legs with a blanket. To get comfortable I have to arrange the blanket so it leaves my lower legs exposed and at the same time covers my feet which tend to get cold if not covered. The other odd thing is my legs seem to adapt as I find when waking my legs are fully covered but there is no burning pain.
When this first started I was given a complete neurological workup, including the shock test, and passed all tests and was dismissed.
This past year my dermatologist (not my neurologist) suggested I may have SFN. It sounds like it could be but because as the night progresses and the pain goes away makes me wonder.
Does this happen to other SFN patients?
Thanks for any opinions!!
