Sural nerves are sensory nerves in the lower extremities. The fact she has neuropathy in upper & lower extremities could be CIPD--the inflammatory process is not in the joints but in the nerves themselves. Do you have neuropathy history in other family members? It also could be a hereditary neuropathy. Genetic testing may be worthwhile if that is suspected.
I understand not wanting to start her with treatment far away from home, but seeing a specialist to help diagnose her would be worth it--they often are willing to consult with your regular doctors to direct treatment.
