Default Does neuropathy always show up on tests?
Hi,
I am new to this site. I have a question. I started having crawling sensations in my arms in 2002. It got better. I had a NCV done then and it was normal. Doc at UAB said it was PN that didn't show up.

My symptoms started again in September 2010. Well the small fiber skin test is fairly new, right? I am being tested for that and will get the results in 2 weeks. The doc seems to think that if nothing shows up on that test, then I don't have neuropathy and nothing is really wrong with me. I've already had a recent NCV and it was normal. My current symptoms are crawling sensations all over, extreme sensitivity to touch, and occasional shooting pains.

Any thoughts?
