I was initially referred to a neurologist because it was suspected that I may have small fibre neuropathy. I've had nerve conduction studies and EMG and a brain MRI (the latter of which I've not had results for but I expect them to be normal).

I've not yet seen the neuro for a follow up but I did get the letter from the dr who did the nerve tests. He said "no evidence of small fibre neuropathy" which confused me as neuro said a skin biopsy is the only way to draw a formal conclusion. The letter said I have peroneal nerve damage, likely from my mechanical ankle problems that I've had since childhood. It is possible to conclude the cause of my nerve problems based on my history? The dr is a renowned neurophysiologist who is very experienced and he talked to me in depth before and during the nerve tests, wanting to know my medical history and current symptoms.

On a positive note, I've been slowly increasing my gabapentin (it was giving me headaches and blurred vision when I first tried to increase it) and I've had a considerable improvement in my nerve symptoms. I assume this ties in with neuropathy that was caused by a nerve injury?

Thanks in advance.
