A member asked:
Cannot wear night splint due to discomfort in shin+calf. injury->genu valgum+unstable ankle+vein pops out. could this be saphenous nerve entrapment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Discomfort: Nerve impingement feels different than just "discomfort". From your description of the symptoms, unlikely. There may possibly be other reasons for your discomfort.
