sensory neuropathy

[Cath278]

Hi. Amongst the several problems I have at the moment,T.A., B.I.H.,I have also been diagnoised with Sensory Neuropathy.I ve had an N.C.S. test done and am having a E.M.G. in two weeks time. M.R.I.s clear. Can anyone tell if this is a symptom of TA or BIH?It started after the original symptoms of TA.( temporal arteritis). And ,if any one has the time ,could they explain a bit about it to me. Thanking you, Cath278

Hello Dear,
Generalized peripheral neuropathy and multiple mononeuropathies, and mononeuropathy are seen in patients with temprol arteritis.. The nerves affected  in mononeuropathies are the median, ulnar, peroneal, tibial, and sural nerves, and the C-5 and L-5 nerve roots.
Temporal arteritis is inflammation and damage to blood vessels that supply the head area, particularly the large or medium arteries that branch from the neck
