Question 1

my posterior tibial nerve is pulsing of both leg, i can see pulsing on both leg  and i am not feeling any pain and symptom, is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Pulse: If you see something pulsating around posterior tibia, it is not a nerve, it is most likely an artery which a normal behavior for arteries.

Question 2

mri showed hematoma & nerve test showed bilateral l5 radiculopathy as well as peroneal & tibial nerves aconal neuropathy, was this due to lumbar tap?

Accepted Answer

I can't say: It just sounds like too much to be related

Question 3

why causes paresthesias that feel like vibrations following course of nerve e.g. tibial nerve?

Accepted Answer

Depending where: On the nerve the nerve is being compressed by something whether it be tissue, a mass, a bone etc, something is pressing on the nerve along its route it some capacity.

Question 4

i have had crps in my right leg for 13 months.  i am scheduled to have a tibial nerve stimulator next month.  is this a good idea?

Accepted Answer

I'm skeptical: Crps, if that diagnosis is correct, generally worsens after invasive treatment of any kind on the affected limb. Painful partial nerve injuries, which do not result in crps may be alleviated, but not cured, by peripheral nerve stimulation. Either you or your doctor has the wrong diagnosis because crps & limb surgery don't go well together.

Question 5

i have tingling and numbness and pain in right leg and foot due to my tibial nerve being cut during a total knee replacment?

Accepted Answer

Response: Not sure of whether your question involves treatment approach or possibility of surgical interventions.  Hard to interpret your statement, as posed.  Please be specific what your want to have explained or advised.

Question 6

sharp pain on right side of right foot, running down side of foot and across foot under pinky toe. hurts to touch and pressure. i do have tibial nerve?

Accepted Answer

Comments: You describe location of sural nerve, but lateral plantar branch of posterior tibial nerve may overlap territory.  An EMG study should clarify issues, and a foot specialist can assist in reversal of your problems.

Question 7

what are the symptoms of a dead nerve (pernament nerve damage) in the body?

Accepted Answer

See details: It depends on the nerve involved.  The symptoms may include numbness or weakness but your question needs to be more specific.

Question 8

symptoms of sciatic nerve damage after im injection?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: This would not be common.  The sciatic nerve is a very deep structure and injury from im injection would be difficult unless the patient is very thin.  The location if im injection in the gluteus is often in the upper outer region well away from the nerve.

Question 9

what symptoms would you have if an nerve sheath tumor in the l-5 nerve root started to cause nerve damage or compression?

Accepted Answer

L5 nerve root: Muscle weakness of the foot and big toe.

Question 10

was taking 5400 mg of dlpa daily for about 2 weeks. started feeling the symptoms of nerve damage (pain, numbness, tingling). could this be permanent?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Some toxic neuropathies can be reversed if the offending agent can be removed.  The issue is what type of damage was caused and how severe it is.  This will determine if and how long it will take to regenerate.  If you had intermittent symptoms this is the mildest form. If the symptoms were persistent only time will tell
