What Are the Causes of Small Fiber Peripheral Neuropathy?
Small fiber peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the small sensory nerves, commonly in the arms, legs and feet. It generally occurs in people over the age of 60, according to the National Library of Medicine. Common symptoms include painful feet and unusual sensations such as pricks, pins and needles, tingling, and numbness. Symptoms can improve over time, especially if underlying causes are controlled, and medication may be prescribed to reduce any painful symptoms.
