Neuromuscular disease research: nerve biopsy

[Guest guest]

,

Some biopsy information. I forgot to ask you did the Drs. tell you WHERE

the biopsy would be done? I mean, on his leg, foot, thigh, etc. I had

one on my leg and another on my thigh. (same time) ~ G

the doctors want to rule out any other possibilities

with the nerve biopsy. a few of my relatives have been

diagnosed with MS. also they want to narrow down the

type that he may have for DNA testing. this is all

that they have told me of why they want to do this.

knowing what type is more for his future as far as

having kids and all that so there is not much rush for

that. they plan to do this on his leg right above his

ankle.
