Please post back if you learn anything. My neuro said we could do the punch biopsy to confirm the SFN, but said it wouldn't tell us anything beyond that. And since he was confident in his diagnosis, he didn't feel it was necessary.

Mostly my pain is constant burning in hands and feet radiating up to the knees and elbows.
Only one more month before I get my skin biopsy, to test for SFN. Not that it will help me, as I already know I have it! But maybe the doctor will get something out of it...
