A member asked:

Received letter from neuro. it says "no sensory signs". does this rule out things like peripheral neuropathy ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: The statement used by neurologists, "no sensory signs" does not necessarily mean that peripheral neuropathy has been ruled out. We would need a little more context of where that phrase was taken and in relationship to what the patient has wrong to make better sense of the phrase.
