Default Skin biopsy results- help

Hi,

I have posted before about my symptoms of heart racing, painful sensations in my legs and arms (and sometimes trunk) (especially in the heat), and a few others (these are the main ones). Anyway I had a skin biopsy done and here were my results:

ENFD
Thigh -9.7 (cutoff 5% = 6.8 at thigh, 10% = 8)
Calf - 8 (cutoff 5% = 5.4, 10% = 5.7)

SGNFD
Thigh - 29.2 (below 5th % - cutoff = 37.8 )
Calf - 44.5 (cutoff 5% = 36.5)

I know the other values are considered normal but I have a few concerns:

1. I am only 19 and they said in the report that they dont have data for someone of my age but that my densties should be higher.

2. What percentile would these probably be considered? Are they still low?

3. The thigh is more reduced for its percentile than the calf and the report said "a greater reduction of the ENFD at the thigh than claf may indicate the presence of a multifocal sensory neuropathy or sensory neuronopathy" thoughts?

4. Any idea what percentile the calf SGNFD is?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
