A member asked:
What are the symptoms of peroneal nerve compressed? can it occur from ankle sprain? fibula possibly moved and pinched nerve.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nerve impingement: Unlikely, that the fibular bone moved to pinch a nerve. The peroneal nerve (superficial peroneal nerve) is located in the skin and can be impinged through swelling resulting from an ankle sprain. The bone, ligaments, muscle, tendons are deeper than the skin, but the swelling associated with injury can cause shooting pain, burning, tingling, and numbness. Hope this helps.
