Chronic and Severe Bilateral (lateral) lower leg pain

[mmwr715]

deep burning of the lateral side of my legs - burning pain point to nerve damage pain and on the lateral just below knee would be peroneal
Upper fibula is where the common peroneal nerve often is entrapped or irritated; with major involvement would have shin weakness, atrophy and foot drop, and knee pain. Often there is a cyst along the peroneal nerve but this is sometime missed.

pain 4-5 cm above the ankle is the superficial peroneal nerve.
It can be released by surgery:

Though one case had recently been treated with pulsed radiofrequency denaturation:

I saw a case presented last year treated with perineural injections

as per:
Thor, Ju Ann, et al. "Perineural Injection Therapy in the Management of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome: A Sweet Solution to Pain." Pain Medicine (2017): pnx063.

Thanks for your reaction. I did have a new MRI made which includes the fibula head. Waiting for the results. On the MRI image itself (received this before the analysis), some wierd spots are seens on the other side of the tibia (inner part). I had an operation 25 years ago so I hope these black spots (white on some other images) are from the scar on my leg. Looks a bit weird.

Furthermore I get a compartiment pressure test in some weeks and a functional MRI to test blood supply. Although the heavy pain started in relation to biking, having had enormous pains last year and pain when pressing on the muscles in the lateral compartiment with a finger, I am much in doubt if this could be compartment syndrome. I have pain when lying down, is relieved a bit by walking (short distances) and is aggravated by sitting. Also the fasculations I have and cramping also occurs in the calves, not only in the lateral compartment. (although the lateral compartment being the center point of the heavy pain). Compression socks seem to help a bit, changes the pain intensity a bit.

I did not made any workouts or exercises during the last year other than walking with a slow speed. So not sure about the exertional part in exertional compartiment syndrome. According to some docs I spoke about this it's not always that black and white.

Went back to doc to exchange oxycodon for tramadol as I do not want to use oxycodon. But indicate the (peak) pain levels
