biopsy for small nerve fiber

I had my nerve biopsy yesterday; 3 places on left leg, which is somewhat worse than the right. I had messaged my rheumatologist who made the referral about the experience I had on my first appointment, and he actually contacted the doctor that does the biopsy. I was told it would take at least a month, possibly 2 months to come back from the lab. He is leaving this practice, so I will have an appointment with a different doctor when the report from lab comes in. I am canceling the injection until I know more.

Great. Just FYI, my biopsy was also done by a pain doctor, who had no interest in me as a patient - he just performed the biopsy. He then shared the results with my neurologist, and their office called me with the results. I didn’t have to see the doctor. And it took about a month as I recall.
