Not too many numbers on this report.....more words....here goes...

"No clear pathologic evidence to support presence of smf sensory neuropathic process based on epidernal nerve fiber densities at the foot, distal leg and proximal thigh."

Gross Description:

All Three areas mentioned above: 3.0 mm punch biopsy. PLP fixation. H&E and PGP 9.5 immunostaining.

Microscopic Description:

All Three Areas:

On the H&E stain, the epidermis and dermis reveals no significant inflammatory infiltrate. Epidermal nerve fiber density is with normal limits. Sub-epidermal nerve fiber innervation density (PGP 9.5 immunostaining) within normal limits.

**Moderate numbers of axonal swillings are present in the sub-epidermis, but this finding is seen in healthy controls at the foot site.

I guess it's good, as the Dr. said........but.......

Should the word "Yet" be added to all of this?

My symptoms started May of 2009, would a bad report have showed up by now?

Also, the last **sentance alarmed me a bit, but it does say found at healthy controls also.

Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.
