Default rheumatoid arthritus and Peripheral neuropathy

have rheumatoid arthritus for about 5 year now
Just developed Peripheral neuropathy in my feet over the last year
My Rheumatologist has asked me to have a nerve biopsy
as he thinks the arthritus is causing the neuropathy,
But have seen the neuro specialist today and he said Its not worth having the nerve biopsy as we have already established I have PN.
Is the neuro specialist trying to fob me off with excuses
Has anyone had this nerve biopsy done and if so did it help in a diagnosis.
And does it help with a pointer to treating the PN
Is there any treatment for PN I have lots of questions IN regards to Pn,
And feel alone and worried about this condition and I am worried it will spread around my body,
Thankyou for any help you can give me.
