Most know my major issue is in my left inner ankle/foot/calf. A few months ago I had it for a brief period in my righ in the similar areas and felt like I couldn't propel with my right. Well the past 3 days my right is in so much pain too and in the same areas. I have been pushing more and doing so much on my feet in the past week as the docs said I have to do as much activity as I can handle. I have been putting a lot of pressure on the right to take some off the left. My docs want to treat my pn like rsd. The last doc said something about the pn in both. So can some explain more the results and is it truly similar in both legs just the left worse? Thank you.

Nerve conduction studies were obtained following posterior tibial motor,peroneal motor and sural sensory nerve stimulation. There were prolongation of the distal latency of the right peroneal and bilateral conduction velocity slowing 22.8 meters per second right,35.9 left. Sural latencies were intact following right sided stimulation,boderline latency on left with conduction velocity slowing 35.2 meters per second. This was an abnormal study consistent with a bilateral sensory motor neuropathy. These findings should be clinically correlated.
Somatosensory evoked potential(SEP) were obtained following posterior tibial nerve stimulation at the ankles. Following stimulation of either side,well-formed and reproducible popliteal fossa,lumbar and cortical potentials were seen. There was mild prolongation of the L3 response. There was shortening of the left L3-Lp37 interpeak latency. This is an abnormal study consistent with conduction delay subserving the sensory pathway of he left lower extrmity between the popliteal fossa and lumbar cord. The finding should be clinically correlated.
