Default True muscle weakness--

--is not generally a feature of small fiber neuropathy, as the small fibers subsume the sensations of pain and temperature and many autonomic functions but not muscle control--that is the province of larger, myelinated fibers.

But, it is not uncommom to have neuropathy involving multiple types of nerves. And, dealing with any type of neuropathy can make one move a lot less and get weaker over time, or feel weak from fighting the fatigue that is a common symptom.
