Can Small Fiber Neuropathy Be Diagnosed By EMG?

by JoshuaY46013, Nov 06, 2009 04:17PM
I had an EMG and was diagnosed with Small Fiber Neuropathy, I had no response in the Medial Planter Nerves, does this indicate Small Fiber?

I was told an EMG isn't able to detect Small Fiber?

Thank You
Josh

Hi there,
I was also diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy and am really in a lot of pain.
My neurologist stated that an EMG can detect large fiber neuropathy, and small fiber neuropathy is kind of diagnosed by ruling everything else out. There's also a biopsy that can be done to diagnose small fiber neuropathy.

How are you feeling? Are u taking any medication?

My EMG report said "Medial Plantar Sensory Nerves Absent Latencies Suggest A Small Fiber Neuropathy"  The bottom of my feet didn't have any response in the NCV test

I am in a lot of pain, some days I can't sleep, barely walk and drive. I also have neuropathy in both legs as well.  I'm have a horrible time coping with the pain and living a normal life...  How do you do?


I take Ultram 100 mg 4x Day
Neurontin 600 mg 3x Day

What medications do you take?
