If you have been dealing with a sharp, burning, or tingling sensation along the inner knee, the medial side of the lower leg, or even into the inner ankle, and nobody seems to find anything definitive on imaging, you are probably familiar with the frustration.

If you're reading this, you've probably already been told to "rest it," "stretch it," or "see how it goes." Adductor canal compression syndrome — a condition where the saphenous nerve, and sometimes the femoral artery, gets pinched as it passes through the fibrous tunnel in the mid-thigh formed by the adductor muscles — doesn't respond well to vague advice.
