HI Mel! Thanks for that info. I had to laugh when it said the muscle nerve biopsy is a minor outpatient surgery.....it's outpatient......but I have a 3 1/2" incision from my muscle/nerve biopsy! It wasn't a minor surgery by any means. My ankle will continue to swell from it for 2-3 more months because of the depth the surgeon had to go to get the muscle.
My Rheumatologist did take lots of blood 2 weeks ago trying to narrow down the cause of all of this....I guess from reading that he's trying to narrow down the myopathy part. I hope he figures something out! I'm tired of taking Lyrica and gaining weight from it! Roxie
