Yes, neuropathy — or nerve-related sensory changes — is absolutely a recognized symptom of MS. It can show up in many different and sometimes surprising ways.
Some sensations that MyMSTeam members have described include:
- Numbness or tingling in various parts of the body
- Feeling like walking on aluminum foil
- A "wet skin" sensation between the toes
- Electric shock feelings down the spine
- A sensation of glass in the feet
- General altered sensations that come and go
These happen because MS damages the myelin sheath — the protective covering around nerves — which disrupts how signals travel through the nervous system. Regarding the skin biopsy specifically, that's a question worth bringing directly to a neurologist. Skin punch biopsies are sometimes used to evaluate small fiber nerve density, and an abnormal result can point to nerve involvement. A neurologist can help connect those findings to the bigger picture of what's going on with MS symptoms.
It's always a good idea to discuss any new or unusual test results with a specialist who knows the full history.
