The peroneal nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve that runs down the lower leg. When this nerve is compressed or injured, it can cause sharp pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the leg and foot — commonly known as peroneal neuropathy.
This condition can result from prolonged leg crossing, squatting, trauma, or even certain medical conditions like diabetes. Symptoms often include difficulty lifting the foot (foot drop), muscle weakness, or pain along the outer leg.
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to get a proper evaluation.
At Stella Maris Clinic, our skilled orthopaedics specialists can assess nerve-related leg pain and provide targeted treatment plans, from physical therapy to nerve support and rehabilitation.
