Default Sural Nerve Biopsy

It turns out that one possible diagnostic procedure for amyloidosis is a sural nerve biopsy. In passing I've read comments on here (and likely other forums) about the damage it can leave. Has anyone had the procedure done? Input and experiences appreciated.

I will push for a fat pad biopsy instead, since it's far less invasive and dangerous. That sural nerve biopsies are even done is surprising. There's certainly irony in giving further neuropathy to those who are already suffering from it.

Thank you.
