I'll attempt to translate from Latin into English for you. To find out what it actually means in respect to your health you should talk to your doctor who should be able to explain what it means.

Evidence for widespread sensorimotor polyneuropathy c/w mononeuritis multiplex

widespread = they found it in many areas of your body, not in one localised area.

sensorimotor = the nerve fibers that carry messages about sensation (touch / pain) and movement.

polyneuropathy = many nerves affected.

c/w = consistent with.

mononeuritis = (mono = one) + (neur = nerve) + (itis = inflammation) = inflammation of one nerve fiber.

multiplex = many times / individuals.

mononeuritis multiplex = damage to multiple individual nerve fibers, either serially or concurrently.

If you have tingling / burning pain / numbness or weakness then this diagnosis would explain those symptoms. I hope that the B vitamins help.

Flop
