The pain started shooting up from my knee, affecting both my knee and calf. The pain was so intense that it would make me vomit.
One procedure performed was a decompression of the proximal tibial nerve. Additionally, we released the saphenous nerve because the patient experienced severe pain along the inside of the calf, making even the sensation of hair touching the skin unbearable.
The patient also had severe pain in the sole of the foot, which was hypersensitive and extremely uncomfortable. We performed a tarsal tunnel release, addressing both distal and proximal entrapments, and also released the saphenous nerve for surface pain relief. Furthermore, we released the common peroneal nerve and the sural nerve, which was causing severe pain down to the top of the foot.
When asked to describe the sensation now, the patient said it "tickles." Before surgery, the pain was excruciating—so unbearable that even minor contact was intolerable. Now, the patient can touch the affected areas without discomfort and doesn’t have to think about avoiding the pain.
Four months ago, the pain was so severe that even the thought of touching the foot seemed unbearable. Now, the patient reports significant improvement—no pain at all. Before surgery, the foot was hypersensitive, feeling like it was being pierced with glass shards. Now, the sensation has normalized, and the patient even describes it as ticklish.
The procedure was very successful, and the patient has now taken up a new hobby—fencing.
