Question 1

what kind of nerve entrapment is assoicated with overpronation?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps two: Might experience issues with the radial nerve, or median nerve (pronator syndrome).  Likely both would occur after a cumulative and repetitive sequence.

Question 2

what causes nerve entrapment in the spine/neck?

Accepted Answer

Pinched nerve: The two most common causes of nerve entrapment in the neck are a herniated disc or bony spurs called osteophytes, the last most common occurs later in life, 6th and 7th decades.

Question 3

what is "nerve entrapment"?

Accepted Answer

Nerve compression: Nerve compression syndrome or compression neuropathy, also entrapment neuropathy, is  medical condition caused by direct pressure on  single nerve, known as trapped nerve, though this may also refer to nerve root compression (by a herniated disc, for example). Its symptoms include pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness. Common places include elbow and wrist.

Question 4

how can i tell that i have mild case of pf or baxters nerve entrapment?

Accepted Answer

Diagnostic testing: Plantar fasciitis and Baxter's neuritis may coexist.  A thorough history and physical examination as well as diagnostic testing such as ultrasound or MRI can often differentiate between the two problems.   Plantar fasciitis is generally more common than Baxter's neuritis.  Both problems often respond well to proper orthotic therapy and supportive shoe gear, such as athletic shoes.

Question 5

have you heard of pudendal nerve entrapment?

Accepted Answer

Yes : Pudendal nerve entrapment is an uncommon problem caused by compression of the pudendal nerve which is usually worsened with sitting.  Symptoms can include pain, numbness, and incontinence.  I recommend you see a neurologist or neurosurgeon with expertise in this problem to discuss treatment options.

Question 6

what are the symptoms of ulnar nerve entrapment?

Accepted Answer

Funny bone?!: It's not so funny when you hit the "funny bone" on your elbow. You feel pain and tingling along the side of your arm which shoots into your ring finger and pinky. This can be triggered by bending your elbow for a long time when you're talking on the phone or laying on your side.

Question 7

can hemorrohoids cause pudendal nerve entrapment?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: There are several anatomical planes between the two structures.

Question 8

which type of surgery for genitofemoral nerve entrapment?

Accepted Answer

You: Can try a diagnostic nerve block first to assure that that is the problem. Then a therapeutic steroid injection is worth a try before any surgical intervention if the diagnosis is made.

Question 9

what is the definition or description of: median nerve entrapment?

Accepted Answer

Carpal tunnel: Most commonly this refers to carpal tunnel syndrome where the median nerve is impinged upon in the wrist/lower hand area by the overlying fibrous band pressing it down onto the carpal bones.

Question 10

what is any personal experience with nerve entrapment syndrome like?

Accepted Answer

Personal: Everyone's response to pain is very individual.I have very stoic pts &amp; very sensitive ones.The real question is what can be done to get rid of the nerve entrapment?A good history &amp; phys. incl osteopathic hands-on exam may provide some answers.Care may include surgery or meds (standard treatments), manipulation, or a newer, highly effective but little known treatment called Neuroprolotherapy.
