Hi everyone
I'm hoping to find someone with experience with Baxter's nerve entrapment.
After treating for PF for several months my podiatrist had me get an MRI. The report said negative, but as he read the whole thing he noted that the radiologist had made a finding that the abductor digiti muscle had atrophied. My podiatrist said that is diagnostic of Baxter's nerve entrapment.
He gave me a steroid shot under the skin at the point of most pain and put me in a walker boot. Luckily the boot seems to really help with pain, but I still have pain if I need to be in a regular show for some reason. I go back in 2 weeks. He did say it may be some trial and error to find the nerve with the steroid.
Has anyone had this diagnosis? What was your treatment and did it work? My understanding (Dr Google) is that conservative treatment doesn't seem to work very well and many people end up having a surgery to release the nerve.
