I saw a doctor who reported I have polyneuropathy, however, when another doctor did an emg, it turned out normal so he said it completly rules that out. What are the criterias for polyneuropathy? Do the feelings come and go or are they constant?

Oh what fun am due to have a EMG end of next month.
I have peripheral neuropathy, or what I call 'stigmata' severe pains in center of both hands and feet, so they started me on Lyrica, painful enough to wake you up at 3am. Then I did a disc in my back, MRI showed it and few months later noticed some numbness in my right leg and foot? My Physician sent me to Physiotherapist, who did the 'blind mans bluff' test? You close your eyes, while they stick either the blunt end, or sharp end of a instrument in certain points of leg and foot. You have to 'guess' if you are being stuck with the blunt or sharp end! I did my best and after this the Physiotherapist stated she needed to call my Physician, come back next week. I went back the following week to be told I needed to see my Physician. Went to see my Physician and he explained I failed the test, some argument broke out because the Physiotherapist wanted x-ray of ankle and knee, while Physician screamed it was due to my disc. The compromise EMG!
While waiting to travel for this TEST, I stood up and BANG, excruciating pain and am now in a wheelchair. However and please do not laugh, or laugh now, I can feel my knees! I had always assumed they were their never caused me any problem, but suddenly they HURT. Likewise the problem with the leg/foot I think has resolved itself? Some people state the EMG is inconclusive, who knows, I guess much depends on what time of the year you have it, or what problems you have while waiting for it. I certainly had numbness in my right foot and leg, now my knees hurt, that is all I can state for a fact.
