Wow...read your post and sounds close to what I have....awaiting skin biopsy. I have skin sensitivity in a lot of areas (for instance after I scratch, the sensation remains longer if that makes sense). However, interesting that you did not ask your doctor re the tone of that article, or rather the refractory piece, and the fact that he just thinks the nerves will regen.

I am seeing Dr. Latov in NYC who is one of the leaders in PN, including systemic causes. Perhaps your Docs can bring him in on a consultative basis.

What I am finding is that a lot of Docs are too arrogant to admit what they dont know, and are clueless as to telling you what the next steps are. Dr. Oaklander is a CRPS pain specialist so that might be great as well.

Feel better soon...
