Hello..I am new to this site I am 30 years old and work for a cardiologist as a CNA, and I have been fighting pain for over a year and still have very little answers...First step was a primary dr with chronic pain and numbness, he then sent me to a rhuemotologist to find out if I had arthitis she sent me to physical therapy and he had diagnosed my problem as nuerological which landed me at the nuerologist...since then I had my first MRI whiched came up with possible stroke, Dr then ordered MRA and the final conclusion on that was supposedly it was artifact in the imaging..I have 49% stenosis in corotid artery and skin biopsy was positive for small fiber nueropathy..
I am in so much pain, can barely move at the end of the work day. My hands and feet are always cold and in pain. I take nuerontin 200mg three times a day and an occassional pain med ..I dont like them though make symptoms worse. they have tried giving me Savella, which mad my HR go to nearly 145 resting. I have tried CYMBALTA with the nuerotin but it gives me a terrible headache..............any advise I am scared this small fiber is turning into large fiber..does anyone know anything about Large Fiber symptoms/
