Well, I seen my neuro doc yesterday and he performed 3 tests, BAER,PNC,EMG. He said I did not pass them and that I definitely have Peripheral Neuropathy, but does not know why. I am not a diabetic and my B12 level is good. He ordered some more blood work. What are other causes for PN? As I have mentioned before, the only lesion I have is at C3-4 and I do have moderate cervical stenosis on the left foraminal vertebrae. I just wish I knew what is going on inside my body.The bladder hesistancy is getting worse especially at night, so he referred me to a urologist,guess this means more test?

Here is an article from the Mayo Clinic on Peripheral Neuropathy.  It is a good overview, including causes.

The lesion at C3-C4 could well be the cause of the urinary problems.  Yes, the urologist has a set of tests that they do, including Urodynamic tests that show how well the bladder fills and emptying and if all the muscles are working in good coordination.
