Severe pain in top of foot after nerve biopsy for CIDP.

Severe pain in top of foot after nerve biopsy for CIDP.

I had 3 back surgeries last year. I then developed a dropped foot. After sometime, a neurologist suspected me of having CIDP. She recommended a nerve biopsy of which I did 2 weeks ago.Test concluded that I have CIDP>
Biopsy wasn't bad until 3 days ago.I have developed a burning seensation on top of my foot like someone is ripping the skin off. I went back to doctor and she put me on Lyrica.
Can anyone tell me if this is normal after the biopsy and if it will go away? I feel like I did a procedure that caused more damage than good.

I also had the biopsy on top of the foot and it does hurt like hell for about two wEeks.  Then just goes back to the regular burning hell. To get dx of cidp were your biospY sites on top of foot and anke or did they do a third? Thanks and I hope you are doing better.
