Are there any?

The common physical electrical "wire" test (what I call it) from a nuero doesnt show inflammation, just how they work or not - connections.

Hi Astroman,
Not that I'm aware of - although there are blood tests that will show that the inflammation in your body is up. Basically I think it has more to do with your symptoms.

Possibly an MR Neurography. I have had one for a compressed nerve. It is hit or miss. Remember the nervous system is an extremely complex system, one of the most complex in nature. I have read sometimes an MR Neurography "can" hypothetically pinpoint large amounts of nerve inflammation / abnormalities.

You may find more information over in the chronic pain section of the site?

High CPK. If you have elevated creatine it indicates muscle damage and inflammation which irritates nerves causing burning many times muscle twitching which did happen in my case.. Normal is below 300 I was up around 2000
