The should be able to examine the sample to rule out vasculitus and amyloidosis; they will also examine the quality and quantity of nerve fibers. I think I also had to avoid any type of anti-inflammatory before the test. And make sure you think about the spots that hurt the most and have them take the sample from that leg. Good luck!

Thank you very much. Good to know the test can rule out vascular issues as well.
