Peroneal Nerve Entrapment at the Fibular Head
Compression of the peroneal nerve just below the knee, causing burning and tingling on the shin and the top of the foot that is worsened with walking, and especially with squatting.
Meralgia Paresthetica
Compression of a nerve where it exits the pelvis near the "hip bone", which causes burning and tingling on the front and side of the thigh.
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
Compression of a nerve by a ligament on the inside of the ankle, causing numbness and burning on the heel and sole of the foot.
Neurogenic Pyriformis Syndrome
Compression of the sciatic nerve, causing deep buttock discomfort, as well as pain and numbness radiating down the leg.
Anterior Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome
A rare condition where a nerve is trapped under a "ligament" on the top of the ankle, resulting in muscle atrophy, a dull ache on the top of the foot, and even numbness between the first two toes.
Morton's Neuroma
Chronic irritation of a common plantar nerve as it is pinched repetitively can lead to pain in the foot that radiates to the third and fourth toes, and can be worse with walking and relieved with rest and elevation.
Pudendal Nerve Entrapment
Compression of the pudendal nerve can cause pain and burning to occur at the base of the penis, perineum, anus, and labia.
Nerve Decompressions for Diabetic Neuropathy
Chronic high blood sugar can causediffuse nerve damage, resulting in diabetic neuropathy in the lower extremities.
Double Crush Syndrome
There is some experimental and clinical evidence that once a nerve is damaged, it becomes more susceptible to injury elsewhere.
Hereditary Predisposition to Pressure Palsies
There is a rare inherited condition that predisposes one to nerve compression throughout the body.
