Confused PN Diagnosis

I just found a letter my neurologist wrote to my regular doctor February 20, 2001.

On that day I had an EMG of my lower extremities to rule out tarsal tunnel syndrome. Blood work was all normal (obviously from an earlier test), although the folic acid level does not seem to have been done. The other lab tests looking for causes of possible neuropathy were normal. Also stated I do not have tarsal sunnel syndrome based on nerve conductions. The right tibial motor nerve stimulating at the ankle and recording 19 cenimeters distally over the abductor digiti quinti muscles showed a slightly prolonged distal latency of 6.9 milliseconds with a good amplitude of 5.0 millivolts. The left tibial motor nerve (ankle-19 centimeters-ADQ muscle) had a latency of 6.46 milliseconds and an amplitude of 7.13 millivolts. The medial plantar motor nerves were normal.

OK what does this all mean???

He continues on to say that he suspects I have early sensory polyneuropathy.

With my short-term memory loss due to medication, I did not remember even what kind of PN he suspected I have. Well, now I know.
