Nerve biopsy and update.....
Well shortly after I did the integrated nerve block series, I determined my nueropathy had only increased. Though I seem to have less pain and burning and seem to be able to wear shoes more comfortably, my numbness has increased.(maybe that's why I feel less pain) Orthotics actually have been pretty good for the machanics of my feet but doesn't seem to have any effect on the nerves.
I just had another nerve conduction test and it proved my condition was slightly worse. So now my nuerologist suggested I go to Strong Memorial in Rochester NY for a nerve biopsy. (It's only an hour and a half away) I said okay so he's checking to make sure insurrance will cover it. So my questions are.
Is this safe?
Why did he wait 3 years to send me to a nerve specialist?
Is it worth the trouble?
Does anyone know anything about Strongs nueropathy department?
Thanks.
Is it that specialized that no one local does it?
