I definitely think three samples make the most sense. Mine showed no nerve fibers at the ankle, few above the knee, and segmented and breaking down at the upper thigh, which gave me a much better idea of what was going on and how it was progressing. I would insist on several collection sites. Your doctor can probably do it, but just one site would not yield enough information.
