peripheral neuropathy symptoms for 3 years. multiple emg/ncv/skin biopsy negative. finally repeat skin biopsy way below normal. is this unusual?

Question

Can I have neuropathy even though the skin biopsies done on thigh/ankle/calf were negative for "peripheral neuropathy" bc my feet still tingle/feelhot?

Answer 1

Well sort of: Like I tell patients all of the time, if you have diabetes or a vitamin deficiency, then pinning down the cause of a neuropathy is easy. Anything else can be quite a challenge and there are literally hundreds of causes for neuropathy otherwise. I'm sure at this point you had a thorough work up, but seeking quaternary care (e.g. Mayo Clinic) is not inappropriate at this point

Answer 2

Pressure on wound: Put a small bandaid on it and if is still bleeding in the morning then see your doctor.If it is bleeding a lot then go to the er to get it to stop.Cover it with pressure and keep pressure for at least 20 minutes then keep bandaid and slowly remove it gently more pressure should get the bleeding to stop. It will heal but get it checked.

Answer 3

Yes: Many people feel soreness in the back of their nose for a few days after adenoids ae removed.

Answer 4

Yes: Yes. Should subside within a week If not, see ENT doc for assessment.

Answer 5

Neuritis: Nerve pain or numbness or burning is a common symptom associated with entrapment of a peripheral nerve in the foot. It is not debilitating, but very annoying. See your local podiatrist, an injection may be necessary to block the nerve and re-assess the symptoms post-injection.

Answer 6

Many reasons: What stops it depends on what caused it. And lastly, that would depend on the above prior answers.

Answer 7

Insect bites: It could be any insect bite. See the doctor if it does not clear up in few days. If it is itchy you can try Hydrocortisone cream and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) by mouth.

Answer 8

Trauma or Allergies: It could be an allergic reaction or signs of trauma (small bruises.) see your md to be safe.

Answer 9

Probably not: Cirrhosis is not usually associated with hair loss.Any time there is a rapid reduction in weight or any kind of illness then we can see hair loss increase for several months. This type of hair loss comes back so not to worry. Good luck on your weight loss.

Answer 10

Hair Loss: Hair loss associated with weight loss is most likely due to a nutritional deficiency. It is highly unlikely that it is related to your liver.
