Janda: There are two schools of thought in musculoskeletal medicine: Structural and Functional
Most likely your doctor looks at your pain as a structural issue. i.e. Joint inflammation needs an anti-inflammatory.
Unless you need a surgical intervention, Janda would have seen your pain as a functional problem. Your sensorimotor system is having problems.
This is why I'm 100% in the Janda camp and why it gets such great, lasting results.

Is there a connection between The Superficial Peroneal Nerve and Restless Leg Syndrome?
There are some new devices for Restless Leg Syndrome that use electric stimulation to stimulate the afferent nerves of the low leg.
What's the connection to the Superficial Peroneal Nerve and Restless Leg? I'm not sure, but I'm willing to start treating patients with this in mind.
Also, some updates on tough nerve entrapment cases.

Chronic Pain Patient with symptoms of an Ilioinguinal Nerve Entrapment
Recognizing symptoms of peripheral nerve entrapment is critical for chronic pain patients who have gotten no relief from the usual standard of care and diagnostic exams.
When you know the symptoms, you can rule in or out a peripheral nerve entrapment and then palpate the typical entrapment zones to confirm you are on the right track.

My Thoughts about Electric Stimulation of Motor Points - the Why and How and How Long
People often ask questions about how to use electric stimulation of an acupuncture needle in the motor point of a muscle. They want to know why and how and for how long.
I attempt to give some answers based on what I have seen. There are so many opinions about it that I thought it would be best to give you the basic explanation that has worked well for me. If you're happy with your results, that's what you should do.
I leave it to others to dispute the minutiae of frequencies and points and length of treatment.
