I have a diagnosed small fiber neuropathy. My sypmtoms include fatigue, constant horrible nerve pain, and numbness. I also experience petechiae from pressure (my arm is covered from the blood pressure cuff after getting my blood pressure taken). I am a 24 year old female. Any ideas for underlying conditions that could be causing the neuropathy?
Hi I did review your concern. Your condition requires expert care in form of specific investigations for finding cause of small nerve neuropathy including a skin biopsy, work up for diabetes, vitamin deficiency or other multitudes of diseases. Also concomitant petechial need to be seen differently right now as in by doing a complete coagulation profile. In a young female, I would suspect autoimmune disorder like systemic lupus erythematous which such different system findings and do ANA and DSNA as well as anti smith antigen assay. I hope this helped me know if you have any more questions or concerns and I will try to help you with best of my abilities. Wish you all the best sincerely, Chat Doctor.
