He agreed and took two samples right above my ankle and no where else. My results from just that one biopsy site were 0...no A and C fibers left. (Bako Labs)

This was done before I joined this wonderful site and I had very little knowledge of what to ask for. If I had known I would have asked for several sites to be tested.

Did he only do one site because he's a foot/ankle dr ? Did he only do one site because I was very new to whatever was happening to me and he just did the one site because I asked for the biopsy myself instead of him suggesting it ? Because I was only complaining of my feet ?

I have no idea and I'm in Georgia, USA

Guessing I got the short end of the stick ? It has now traveled to my legs, arms, hands and mouth area.

Just wanted to let you peeps know my biopsy story.
