A couple of weeks back, I came down with some pain in my lower leg (hard to locate it exactly, but was in the upper one third of the shin) that I was afraid might be a stress fracture. I went to the doc, had x-rays and an MRI done, which revealed no fracture whatsoever. My doctor (an orthopedist) believes I am aggravating the common peroneal nerve, but isn't quite sure how I'm doing it. I rested an entire week and the pain did subside, and I got a solid 10 days of training in with no pain after that. But then it suddenly came back. I was shown a couple of stretches that I can do to hopefully relieve any pressure on the nerve, and sometimes they succeed for a while (like minutes up to an hour or two) but then the pain comes right back. NSAIDs don't seem to have any effect on it, by the way.

Has anyone here had a similar diagnosis, and if so, were you able to manage it or come up with a plan to get over it that worked?
