Question 1

emg study for puffy feet reads . a fairly symmetric mild sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy with  primarily axonal loss features.  what are options?

Accepted Answer

It depends: The first thing would be to address possible underlying causes such as diabetes. There are medication which can help to minimize any symptoms of the neuropathy.

Question 2

hi need help. is left median motor neuropathy and right musculotanuos motor neuropathy. peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy. peroneal motor axonal and demyelinating peripheral neuropathy bad i had a nerve test and muscle test and these are the results?

Accepted Answer

: I recommend consulting a neurologist who specializes in neuromuscular disorders at the department of neurology at a university hospital near you. Bring pertinent records and test results with you to avoid duplicate testing.

Question 3

emg study of feet reads a fairly symmetric mild sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy with primarily axonal loss features. liver, sugar clean.thoughts?

Accepted Answer

Vitamins?: This may be a vitamin deficiency.  Please have your doctor test for this and be sure to take a good multivitamin daily.

Question 4

is chronic diffuse sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy with predominant external & secondary demyelinative changes a long-term disability?

Accepted Answer

It can be: Sensorimotor peripheral neuropathies have many types and various causes. Some of them can be disabling, even long term in some cases. A thorough search will have to include blood tests and urine tests. In some cases spinal tab (lumbar puncture) can be necessary. In delineating the diagnosis.

Question 5

to clarify my question from the other day. my neurologist had ordered a blood test called a sensorimotor neuropathy profile-complete. what is this & what is he lookingfor?

Accepted Answer

Cause of neuropathy: Diagnose the disease causing  the neuropathy ie. Hu paraneoplastic syndrome, anti-gm1 motor neuropathy, anti-mag neuropathy, anti-sulfatide neuropathy, sensorimotor neuropathy. Elisa & western blot confirmation methods are used to  detect of anti-mag & anti-sgpg antibodies such as anti-gm1, anti-gd1b, anti-asialo gm1, anti-gq1b and anti-sulfatide antibodies by elisa; and  anti-hu antibodies.

Question 6

my ncv reports suggest that i have mild distal motor axonal peroneal neuropathy in right limb eventhough i feel symptoms of tingling in my left leg as well, usually these gets worse during night. does this even get cured or i have to live with it now?

Accepted Answer

: Pl see a good neurologist or neurosurgeon  for management who will find the cause and fix you up. Good luck.

Question 7

got distal motor axonal peroneal neuropathy in one leg but the issue is i am having stiffness in that leg's all toes, i am not able to bend all of them fully without discomfort. what can i do to get relief from stiffness, plz doctor? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: I would first ask a neurologist to determine if there's any other neurological pathology to explain the problem with being able to bend your toes and if a course of physical therapy would be worthwhile. I suspect your toe problems are a result of the peroneal neuropathy and physical therapy will help.

Question 8

are there any kinds of gi diseases that cause axonal neuropathy?

Accepted Answer

Some: Axonal small fibre neuropathies can occur from pernicious anemia, gastric cells, and celiac disease, small intestine, but digestive issues can accompany alcohol nutritional and diabetic problems, and these can cause large fiber axonal neuopathies.  Porphyria can cause axonal issues and the intermittent form can cause attacks of stomach pain.

Question 9

what are the differences between giant axonal neuropathy and gigantism?

Accepted Answer

Big difference: Gigantism is due to excessive secretion of growth hormone prior to closure of the epiphyseal plates. Giant axonal neuropathy is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of nerve cell protein that causes peripheral nervous system dysfunction in infancy and progresses to involve hearing vision, and eventually higher cortical function. One sees seizures and kinky hair in most cases.

Question 10

what does mixed axonal/demyelinating poly neuropathy mean and what are diseases associated with it?

Accepted Answer

Neuropathy: neuropathies are normally differentiated between axonal and or demyelinating.  Axonal is nerve fibers are damaged and demyelinating is covering of the nerves are damaged.  All neuropathies may be mixed such as in Guillain-Barré, but most neuropathies are related to hypothyroidism, diabetes, vitamin B12 deficiency and/or alcoholic.  A mixed pattern does not provide diagnostic help.  Hope that helps
