Question 1

how long does it take peroneal nerve to heal after decompression?

Accepted Answer

perhaps 4 weeks: If involved only myelin coverings, about 4 weeks for recovery.  If injury to central axon, regrowth at 0.1mm daily.  Emg test may help predict recovery.

Question 2

emg report says "attenuated bilateral peroneal motor responses" what does that mean.

Accepted Answer

EMG Report: That's mean that  the motor response from the left and right common peroneal was markedly attenuated (weaken or reduce in force). For more information always ask your physician.

Question 3

peroneal nerve--wjere and what is that?

Accepted Answer

OUTER Lower leg: Peroneal (fibular) nerve is in the outer part of the calf (lower leg).  It tends to get injured just below the outer part of the knee where it crosses over the fibular head. The nerve controls muscles/sensation of the outer calf.

Question 4

i've had subluxing peroneals for two years which i never got fixed and now i'm getting pain there. could this be related?

Accepted Answer

Entirely Possible.: It sounds completely reasonable. Have your foot evaluated to be absolutely sure.

Question 5

how to treat patellar tendinopathy ?

Accepted Answer

Patellar tendinitis : Rest, ice, compression, elevation. Get physical therapy as well. Patellar straps can be helpful. Use pain medications like Tylenol or ibuprofen following recommended doses.

Question 6

what should i do for achilles tendinopathy?

Accepted Answer

RICE: Rest, ice, compression, elevation.

Question 7

what will my pt do for peroneal tendonitis?

Accepted Answer

Hopefully help u: They have certain equipment like possibly ultrasound machines, galvanic stimulation and various other modalities. Sometimes, they may perform massage or stretches etc all depending on the amount of pain you have.

Question 8

what is moderate left gluteus minimus tendinopathy?

Accepted Answer

: Usually there is a scale of mild-moderate-severe, so moderate is somewhere in the middle. Gluteus minimus is the smaller of your major butt muscles, and tendinopathy just means an injury or dysfunction of that muscle’s tendon.

Question 9

whats the difference between tendonitis and tendonopathy?

Accepted Answer

Tension patchy: Tension patchy is probably the better term as it implies and problem related to the tendon.  When a term ends in "itis" it means inflammation.  However most things we call tendinitis like jumpers knee, cuff problems, tennis elbow, are actually collagen fiber breakdown and not tendinitis.  Tendinopathy is a better and more universal term.

Question 10

what does it mean when it say no f wave response of right peroneal nerve in nerve conduction study? what further tests have to be done?

Accepted Answer

F wave: Usually for foot/hand muscles, it is a small part of a fullelectodiagnostic test that studies electrical response to a nerve right after the main motor response wave (from being very stimulated), representing a rebound electrical response in the nerve, backwards up to the spinal cord.  When compared to the motor wave by ratios, certainly aspects of nerve slowing can be found. Full exam is needed.
