I have large fiber Neuropathy, small fiber is diagnosised by skin biopsy. I don't have a lot of pain, just when I get cramps in my feet. I get an occasional burning sensation in my thigh but it usually lasts a couple of miniutes then it goes away. It's more mild numbness and weakness, and some odd sensations but not really painful just an uncomfortable feeling. Sometimes my legs don't feel like they are working properly when I am walking, mainly do to my left knee feeling weak. I don't know if it is affecting my circulation. Some morning when I wake up my hands are swollen and feel stiff, my feet are also stiff but do not appear to be swollen like my hands.
I have also notice a very small bump that is firm, which I believe is on a tendon in the top of my left hand because it moves from near my wrist to the center of my hand when I flex my fingers.

Thank you
