Sounds to me like a surgery to relieve pressure on a specific nerve, nothing that would relieve small fiber neuropathy. I could go on and on about peripheral neuropathy not being a disease but a symptom. There are so many hereditary and acquired reasons for the many different types of peripheral neuropathy. Articles like this are written by some person who touts themselves as a medical correspondent or medical writer and has no real concept of what they are writing about....kinda like me writing about how to fix the state of the economic crisis in America.
