Thanks. I will bring it up to my doctor.
Hi @lisabeans -- @oldkarl is right about the EMG (Electromyography test) to diagnose nerve damage. You can find a good overview of the EMG here: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/emg/basics/definition/prc-20014183. Your doctor may want to order blood tests and other tests before referring you to a neurologist (I think). Here's the diagnosis information for peripheral neuropathy from the Mayo Clinic:
