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.

No: Your symptoms may fit a stress fracture of your foot. Be checked to see if need a XR. All the best.

Not involved..: Of course you have a tibial nerve, but that doesn't have anything to do with your immediate problem. Your sural nerve is more likely involved. Consult with a neurologist at Healthtap for help.
