This is is my fist post on this site, so I hope I am not bringing something up that has already been written about. I did look over the forums and have seen nothing about this. I am a 39 year old very fit male that has suffered with small fiber neuropathy for 15 years. Been through it all but I have been trying this new treatment where the DR injects my ankles with a substance and then puts me on a tens unit. So far it seems to be helping a lot. I have talked to 15 or 20 people that go there and they ALL have gotten results.

I am also an avid weightlifter and I have found that when I take a pre workout product that produces nitric Oxcide , I feel a 100 times better. I take it for a good muscle pump , but have noticed that it reduces the pain by 80%. If anyone is interested in knowing the treatment I am getting , please post a reply and I will find the link to explain it. I have to drive about 40 miles to the place and talk to people that drive well over two hours each time. Since I have been going I have seen advertisements for two other docs in the area performing it. I can tell you this..... they have a full time staff that does these injections 5 days a week ALL day. It must be working. O and IM not a rep for this procedure , just want to spread the word a bit. I am also using a TENS unit at home and have gotten great relief from that as well along with a conductive sock. Both for under $100.00 online. I use the ultima 20. Great little machine.

Hope all is well:Eric

Can you tell us what is being injected? I would like to know.

There is a study ongoing with hyaluronic acid injections into the ankle. Other things injected, long acting steroids or lidocaine.

Most of the pre-workout products contain arginine (or citrulline) to improve NO in the blood vessels. Other aminos might be there too..like glutamine.

I wonder if you are having a form of prolotherapy? This is when an irritating substance is injected into a joint, to stimulate healing.
It is less common today because of negative consequences for some patients.
