Article Abstract
Patients presenting with painful feet are heterogeneous, consisting of both large and small fiber sensory neuropathies. In rare cases, a central cause for pain can be found. Over one-third of patients required a skin biopsy to diagnose a small fiber sensory neuropathy. A limited battery of blood tests facilitated diagnosis, but serum antinerve antibodies were not helpful.
