Anyone comment? I am not sure what any of this means specifically other than no inflamation, which is shocking to me.
Do these sound like normal tests to check for PN??????

I think it just means that your pain isn't caused by inflammation from RA or artheritis. They are just testing to make sure you don't have a unlying condition that is causing the burning pain. Peripheral Neuropathy is neurological in nature, I imagine they will next test for causes, such as small fiber neuropathy etc.
