Hello John. Hope you are well. Is there any I formation on Mayo if podiatrist do small fiber neuropathy skin biopsy? I am thinking if I could rule out SFN, than maybe these burning symptoms on the bottom of my feet and on shins and calves just might be just from my back. Where are these biopsies usually done. From what I am reading, right above ankle, one by k ee, and one right below hip. I just wonder if any member on here has had a SFN Biopsy done by a Podiatrist? Thanks.

I have not had a skin punch biopsy done before. My Mayo neurologist diagnosed me with idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy using an EMG and a few other tests along with a physical exam. I am not sure if a podiatrist can do a skin punch biopsy. Hopefully someone with experience can answer the question.
