Guest guest Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Hi Dorothy, Hummm, well then I am confused too. I had the needle in the nerve test and the one where they shock you, I couldn't feel either so no pain there thank goodness, and he said all was fine. But then he told me pheripheral neuropathy. To be honest I did not think him to be much of a doctor. So I wonder then why I am so numb everywhere. I think once I find out Tues what the rheumy says about my blood work I need a trip to my doc to investigate this more and find out the problem. It is getting to be more and more problematic every day. Thank you for the information. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I'm confused about this, . You said that a neurologist told you that your nerves are fine, but you have peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy is defined as damage to nerves. Peripheral just means that it is your peripheral extremities (arms, hands, feet and legs) I believe. This would not account for the burning/tingling sensations along your spine. I know it's all very confusing, particularly when we have more than one disease or illness. I also have several herniated discs. I think you need a clear clarification of the neuropathy. Did you have the nerve function test (EMG, I think it's called)? If you've had it, you'll remember since it can be painful - needles stuck in your leg or arm.
