Hi,
I’m getting a closer brain MRI soon to see if my abnormally large pituitary has abnormal tissue or is too big and endocrinologist will look into hormone effects….
But I’m on this thread about something non potentially cancerous.
I had a popliteal release on both legs years ago for functional popliteal artery entrapment syndrome. Surgeon cut straight through the belly of my popliteus muscle to render it nonfunctional so it wouldn’t squeeze on my artery and he also removed built up scar tissue from that squeezing.
He is confused why I still have symptoms (I had relief for about 1 month only after about 2 month healing period). He said it’s possibly too much scar tissue grew all around quickly and so that would mean when I plantar flex, the surrounding muscles (like gastrocs) pull or push on scar tissue to where the scar tissue directly squeezes too hard on the artery.
I asked if it’s possible that my popliteus grew back and would be functioning to squeeze itself. He said no and no.
I’m curious, has anyone had an experience where a muscle is fully cut through in the belly fibers (not attachments) and it grew back even enough to have some function?
