IF all is negative, than it is possible that "Tingling, Needles and Numbness" could be an attribute of anxiety. Anxiety does cause symptoms that mimic a nerve illness MINUS the pain! NOW as the pain is concerned, there is something called "Somatoform Disorder", which is a mental disorder or disease that MIMICS a PHYSICAL disease! It could cause pain and a host of other problems! Back to the other causes, you need to have your Thyroid checked, have a full run of T3, Free T4 and TSH, that could cause neuropathies that wouldn't be found by EMG or Biopsies. Also, have your blood glucose checked, 2 Hr. fast and if you re-take the 12 hour fast it may show up something the second EVEN third time around! There are many causes for your pains, don't you let the doctor label it as a "Mental' disorder, if he does, get another opinion until you're satisfied! Keep me updated Josh BTW, it isn't the "pain" that they can see in the biopsy, what it will show is a smaller amount of the "small fiber" nerves/nerve endings in the skin, OR deadened nerves. I have Idiopathic Small Fiber Neuropathy, it was a journey, but FINALLY they found it! Good luck |
