Hi,

It is in fact a skin punch biopsy and not a nerve biopsy. The Dr that is going to do my biopsy here told me it was done in the leg. I said to him that my problem started in the hands/arms , but he reply me that they only can compare with a database if the biopsy his performed in the leg.

I call Bako (in the US) and they confirmed to me. They told me that they can performe anywhere but they only have normal values to campare with if the sample is taken from the leg (10 cm abobe the ankle).

Anyway did you see my thread "very interesting" ? What ever happen to the Snail venom? Does anyone knows? It had so much potentials on neuropathic pain.

PS: Thank you for continuing replying me. I though you were hangry with me because of my obsession with MRIs
