Electric shocks from peripheral neuropathy

I had a list of questions for my neurologist a few weeks ago, and “I don’t know” was the answer to most of them. But, to my question of if these shocks and zaps meant that nerves were regenerating, or degenerating, he basically responded “Not necessarily, that’s just what nerves with neuropathy do.” He explained that comparisons on EMGs would tell changes in either direction, which in my case, we’re unchanged in past few years.

It’s just so frustrating to see a specialist and then another and another and get I don’t knows on everything. I get a few maybes as well when I ask my notepad list of questions. I always end up nowhere. Not sure why I bother.

Well...good news for you with EMG unchanged. I was told by my local neuro doc who I see in fall of each year that she thought my PN (numbness) is unchanged in 12 months. She said at times, PN can sort of become stable for a while. On other hand, balance is worse. Anytime you get the EMG and it is unchanged, that is great news!
