It has always shown that I am not far away from having neuropathy in my hands as my results are heading out of the normal range (sensorimotor axonal neuropathy).

So, sometimes it is more than just showing progression. Sometimes it is to dx what is going on, and this can need doing even once an initial dx of neuropathy has been made as not all issues can be blames on the neuropathy.
