Neurology consult. Said. ?.
Are you looking for a cause or a treatment?
It sounds like a peripheral nerve injury/damage that can be treated.
It would have had to have been an AIDP that is now a CIDP based on the way you've presented it right? They can treat for A/CIDP if they think that's it, although that sounds like a weird presentation and I agree it's more likely damage to common peroneal and possibly roots of the lumbar/pelvic plexuses causing this pain pattern.
You can treat for chronic neuropathic pain of peripheral nerve origin.
