    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

    For IC I use Elmiron, Elavil and Freeze dried Aloe Vera (it works likes Elmiron, but naturally)and Azo as needed. I also take Zegerid, Randitine for Barrett's Esophagus. (which causes me to have constant yeast infections!)I take Cymbalta for Neuopathy/Myopathy pain. I use the Climara patch for menopause symptoms. I'm on a very strict diet because of the IC, IBS and Gastric Bypass. I take Primal Defense Probiotics and whole food Iron.
    I no longer have the awful urethral pain! I've been using MSM gel now for 4 mo. and haven't had a flare up or the urethra pain.....it's amazing stuff!!:woohoo:

    More info.

    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

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