I have been told I have probable SFN with lots of hand and foot burning pain and pain from standing/ walking, I recently had a lignocaine infusion once a week for 3 weeks, this gave me about five weeks pain free it was heaven, unfortunately it's worn off now so I am back to sleepless nights, but apparently it can be effective for much longer for some people.

I am so sorry to hear of your pain. Has your neuro done any tests to confirm the SFN ? And what type of infusion did you have ? lignocaine....I don't recognize that name.

Sometimes I sleep all night long and then some and sometimes I don't sleep at all. I had someone on here recommend Ambien to help me sleep. It is by prescription. Maybe you can ask your dr about it or something similar.

If I stand too long or walk too much I pretty much have to hobble to a chair. That's why I'm home 99% of the time. I did manage to go to Home Depot last night and buy 3 plants for my yard....I've been wanting them for months....Even went out to dinner with my daughter and son-in-law....I'm paying for it today but it was well worth it.

Take care and please keep me posted on your treatment.
