    Nerve/muscle/tissue biopsy??

    Has anyone had a nerve/muscle/tissue biopsy and can tell me about it?
    My Rheumatologist and Nuerosurgeon has both agreed this is the next step in trying to find out why I'm having all this body pain...ugh!!! This is adding to my stress and anxiety. I'm seeing a therapist/counselor now trying to deal with the stress of all the dr.s, tests and worry.
    Y'all are great here and I so appreciate hearing and talking to you! Roxie

    Hi,

    I've had just about every part of my body biopsied at some point. If you can give me some specifics (i.e. location), and I've had it done, I'll be glad to tell you what I know (although I'm not promising I know much). -J
    Most days I'm the eternal optimist , but on the days I'm not, for your personal safety and sanity's sake, stay away.

    I have too many chronic illnesses to mention: so I won't.
