I am like many others trying to figure out the source of my idiopathic Neuropathy. Mine is strictly burning and it’s symmetrical and in my upper back/shoulder areas C5-C7. After a conversation with Glenntaj it is possible I could have a combination small fiber PN that just happens to be in the same area as a mild disc herniation in C4-C7 area of my cervical spine, which is very common as people age. Normally you may not have any pain in that area but because of the Neuropathy it could make that area hypersensitive.

My MRI just shows a slight herniation with no nerve or cord impingement but I wonder if this type of Magnetic scan could provide more detail to doctors about my condition. It could open the door for possible nerve block’s/ Radio Frequency treatments if the nerve root could be isolated. I only found a few posts on this forum with people talking about it but never found anyone who has actually gotten one. On the link below they talk about many different reasons why you should get a scan including CRPS, TOS, BPD and a few other pain syndromes, Neuritis and Neuropathies.
