Nerve damage and pain that isn’t neuropathy but feels like it.

nemo1, I think you do have neuropathy, since that is defined as damage, disease, or dysfunction of the peripheral nervous system. It sounds like the real question for you is what caused this. And it sounds like you are close to getting an answer to that question. Regardless, it sounds like it is not responding to the treatments you have, or it was responding, but is getting worse, as neuropathy tends to do.
Have you had skin biopsies to look at your nerves and define what type of damage they have? These are usually ordered by a neurologist, and are done on the ankle, above the knee, and upper thigh. This biopsy gives specific information that would clear up confusion about your specific neuropathy symptoms.

Hi There I to have seen my Nero doctor to find out what is going on with me to sum it up I have no nerve damage. So I was sent to a pain mgt Dr who only deals with giving me shots and I been there and done that. The doctor wasn't listening to me. So now what? Do I have a neropanty problem or something else? Very discouraging because I am still suffering. What's next I don't know. Anymore. Sweating still going on, feeling dirty eyes problems Health Insurance company all they seem to care about is preventing them from using their Money restrictions. They want Sr. To die.

Thank you for that. I have not heard about skin biopsies diagnosing neuropathy. I have accompanying these “neuropathy or neuropathy like” symptoms muscular symptoms. Spasms, twitching and a lot of pain as a result. I appreciate your feedback. After the different tests I’m due to have, If I don’t get answers I will ask about the biopsy. The doctor said when I asked, that all the symptoms I’m having is caused by the LS Polyradiculopathy. If I receive therapy for this and it fails, Iwill ask her to take next steps or see why she won’t do a biopsy. She was looking in the direction of Myasthenia or another muscle problem that is uncommon (which we are waiting for bloodwork back from the Mayo Clinic). I will see what she says about a biopsy. Thank you again.
