I had nerve decompression surgery done on both lower legs in March/April of 2011. I do not have diabetes and my Docs were never quite sure why my nerves were compressed. but they were. The surgery removed 90% of the pain and numbness I was living with. I also regained much of the ankle dexterity I had lost over the coarse of few couple years of compression.
I used a doctor in Tucson Az named Dr. Malloney. He was a one time partner of A Lee Dellon.
The surgery does not work for everyone, but it should work for just about everyone that is getting there problems from nerve compression...Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions.
