Hi, Everyone! I've posted here multiple times and flown in and out over the past year.

What started with tingling in my left thigh, has increased to include my left shin. This was over the course of 12 months or so - then suddenly, I had sharp pain in my left heel. Orthopedic Surgeon said it was Sural Neuritis. The pain is gone, but electric shocks are still there on the inside, and the skin on the outside is completely numb.

Normal Nerve Conduction and Normal EMG.

Went to Rheumatologist, normal bloodwork (slightly elevated CRP / SED rate but that's fairly normal for me as I'm a bit overweight). They tested for autoimmune, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus - they even tested SPEP and Immunofixation for things like myeloma and amyloid - all were negative.

My Neurologist said that it's nothing to worry about (MRI of Brain and Lumbar/Sac were normal except a few white matter lesions on the brain) and told me I "graduated" his practice. My family practitioner thinks I may have MS and has referred me to a specialist 90 minutes away, but they called and said all looks normal - they'll see me, but they aren't sure what they can do. I'm still going to go.

My OB/GYN workup was normal, normal mammogram (I'm 37 but my mom had breast cancer so we started early with me) but I do have some uterine fibroids and also PCOS which throws my hormones out of whack.

Since I started exercising / walking more during my lunches at work to try to lose some weight, my right foot has had tingling / pain in the ball of it, with numb spots in the big toe.

This Neuropathy is spreading. It feels like I'm walking on bunched socks all the time, I'm uncomfortable unless I'm wearing footwear (including slippers at home), the pain is a searing burn, the numbness in spots is distracting, and my health anxiety is running haywire. I don't know what's wrong but I keep searching the internet for an answer -- which I'm not getting (or it's telling me some AWFUL things that I think my doctors are missing).

I read that sensory issues don't show on Nerve Conduction / EMG because they're small fiber neuropathies - this would be diagnosed with a skin punch / biopsy, which no one has suggested. I feel lost, and unheard, and I'm not sure where to go from here. I don't know if I'm overreacting, or if something really truly is getting missed. I'm upset and afraid.

Does anyone here have Neuropathy? Did they diagnose you without a skin punch / biopsy? I don't have diabetes, or anything else that would cause permanent numb spots. I'm just really worried...
