A doctor has provided 1 answer
Peroneal Neuropathy: Your peroneal nerve is a nerve on the outside of your lower leg below the knee. Damage to this nerve can cause weakness of the lower leg and foot, especially bending the foot up. This weakness can cause trouble walking. You can have pain, numbness or tingling on the outside and front of the leg below the knee and foot. Good physical therapy and pain management are a good place to start.
