Default Sugar's in the 120 range?

If those levels are for 12 hour fasting blood draws, that would be considered diabetic, or close to it (impaired glucose tolerance), either one of which could result in small-fiber neuropathy . . .

And I am extremely wary of anyone doing decompressive nerve surgery without both direct evidence of a compression, such as a history of stenosis or trauma, and without a very extensive work-up. There are so many possible causes of neurologic symptoms, and the symptoms from compressive causes can be mimicked by many other etiologies, that a real process of elimination investigation is called for to rule out more systemic possibilities (though I realize for those with poor insurance or lack of access to specialty centers this is easier said than done).
