Result of Skin Biopsy is Negative
Hi.
I received a call from the doctor yesterday informing me that the result of my skin biopsy is negative. This makes me happy knowing that I dont have PN, but at the same time more confused and anxious.
Confused and anxious because I experienced (and still is) most of the symptoms of a peripheral neuropathy. In fact, this was my official diagnosis from my previous 2 neurologist until I was referred to this 3rd neurologist who did the skin biopsy. I have very painful (both) feet, tingling, prickly skin similar to being rubbed by a sandpaper. I used to experienced severe burning but that stopped since March 15.
My doctor is no longer keen to pursue any further investigation of my condition. When I asked what would be the next course of action, he simply said "lets wait and observe". I am hoping not to just wait and observe. With the negative result, I asked if I have PN, but he could not give me a straight answer.
If my doctor is correct, what other condition/s could I have?
I am really hoping that anyone can give me some thoughts about my condition.
Thank you.
Mary
