I read your article on CIDP. Can you please try to answer the below questions.
Has there been any evidence that CIDP can cause coccydina pain?
I'm a OA patient by definition because negative for other rheumatic diseases. Even though my Dad has RA and sister has chronic fatigue syndrome.
But after failed back surgery and still having depleting neuropathy pain in leg and foot along with new coccyx pain a year out from last surgery I'm wondering.
The only thing that has been found to eliminate my coccyx pain and some of my foot pain has been sulfazilizin. Which was given to my by family doc. after rheumy refused to RX the med.
I now think I might not have OA, but a auto-immune based disease such as AS or CIDP.
Besides Biopsys, what can I do to validate since MRI and bone scan negative. Along with blood work and not having the HLA B27 gene.
I did have a EMG and the result was undiffined. Meaning I scored right on the line as having nerve damage or not nerve damage.
I just don't get why I continued to get worse until the Sulfa? I also wonder if that med helps if something better might eliminate my neuropothy pain. like TNF or Metho.
What else should I do to determine what is going on.
your help or insight would be great!
After my 2nd. L5S1 surgery I started to develope bad leg neuropathy pain. Then a year out from my surgery I developed really bad Coccyx pain.
