Nerve biopsy test: Is it done by a neurologist or rheumatologist?

Hi @sunnyflower! My biopsy was a tiny scoop of skin and tissue taken from the back of my left thigh and from the back of my right calf. I was numbed first with a small needle. Minimal bleeding, covered with bandage and out the door. I'd say 15 minutes total in the office. The spots were tender for a few days and scabbed over. I never received my path report but, will be obtaining it, this Friday when I meet with my neurologist. Hope this info helps you! Have a pleasant rest of your day.

Hi Rachel, just saw this. Thanks so much! My worst pain isn't in the areas that you had your biopsies taken from, do you have much pain in those areas? I know it's very personal, and I do not want to cross any boundaries, but if you are comfortable sharing what your pathology report says when you receive it or them, I would be very interested to know want it or they say. I worked in healthcare over 20 years and my career goal was to become a physician assistant so all of the providers that I worked with trained me a lot. Then I could just got too sick to fulfill my career goal. I want to really get educated on this so when I ask for my biopsy or two or three, and see the pathology report, I will understand it or them. Thank you so much and hope you are having a tolerable and even good day. Blessings, Sunny flower
