Hello @rickahight, Welcome to Connect. You are not alone with the neuropathy pain and hopefully you will get some answers Wednesday when you go over the test results with the neurologist. You might want to write down a list of any questions or concerns you have so that you can get some answers. The Neuropathy Commons website is a really good source for neuropathy information and I thought you might find the page on the nerve conduction test helpful:
--- Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Studies: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/diagnosing-peripheral/electromyography-and-nerve-conduction-studies.

How long have you had the neuropathy symptoms?

Hopefully Wednesday you’ll learn more from the neurologist. The nerve conduction study you had done only detects large fiber neuropathy…it does not detect small fiber neuropathy. It takes other tests to detect small fiber neuropathy…to include a skin biopsy. Your description of symptoms certainly sounds like neuropathy. Ask your neurologist about small fiber neuropathy and if you could have it. Best wishes for you.
