Small fiber neuropathy?

Have a nerve biopsy as this will tell the doctor what you have. USA do it through the blood sample or skin biopsy I believe which is more accurate than an MRI. My blood sample showed damage to my sensory nerve panel and then the specialist was able to help me with treatment to repair the foot nerves. I hope this helps you decide. Ask lots of questions to the doctors. I did.

I will ask for the nerve biopsy. You mention by blood. May I ask what specific lab test you are referring to? I am in USA. I did not know repairing foot nerves was possible..! Do they test the skin of the feet or another area? I’m diabetic and don’t heal easily and am wondering if the biopsy heals well in diabetics. Even if small.
