biopsy for small nerve fiber

My PT had me doing neck extensions which worsened my PN. It was below my neck and down to lower-middle back. Now, I have constant burning in my neck even on the Gabapentin. At first, I did not connect the PT to my worsening symptoms, but when he had me increase the repetitions, I knew. Supposedly, I have mild cervical stenosis and degenerative arthritis in my neck. My EMG of the upper extremities said cervical radiculopathy, but then no one trusts his report (A hand surgeon, a PA for neurosurgeon, rheumatologist, and lastly the PA at the pain clinic). It's all extremely frustrating.

I’m really sorry to hear that. It can be hard to find the right PT. I can relate to getting hurt because of inappropriate or overly aggressive PT. It’s very important to me to work with someone who understands central sensitization and who’s willing to focus on function, meaning getting me back to what’s important to me, even if it may look different than it did before. That’s more what I meant in relation to yoga, not necessarily curing the neuropathy.
