Skin biopsy results elevated
 
Hi,
I have been going through a tough 2 years.
Mayo said I may have a hypersensitive CNS and most recently Hopkins says
I have SFN. Received biopsy results a few days ago and ankle was 29fibers/MM
And diagnosis of SFN was something like 5fibers/mm.
Thigh was 32. My Neuro at Hopkins said I have it even if
Count is normal.... fibers look good but don't work correctly.
Doc thinks I have an scn9a mutation ( I found it on 23&me).
I'm getting more testing. Last biopsy 18 months ago showed ankle fibers around 15/mm
Any thoughts on my case?
My symptoms include a burning sensation on front of both thighs and my toes can get red and hot after exercising late in the day
Or before bed.
I had full MRIs, QSART, sweat test, and two skin biopsies -
2EMGs - all normal

If the symptoms are not progressing and you don't have a real pain (the one like tooth or ear pain) then my advice is - forget about it.
