If you suspect that your symptoms might be due to popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (fPAES), here are some additional questions you could ask your doctor or surgeon:

1. Could my symptoms be due to Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome?

2. How can we differentiate between exertional compartment syndrome and fPAES?

3. What tests would you recommend to confirm or rule out fPAES?

4. If I have PAES, what treatment options are available?

5. What are the risks and benefits of these treatment options?

6. How would the approach to surgery change if I have fPAES rather than or in addition to exertional compartment syndrome?

7. What is the success rate for treatment or surgery for fPAES?

8. Are there lifestyle changes or exercises I can do to manage or improve fPAES symptoms?

9. Will having PAES affect my long-term health or physical abilities?

10. How long is the recovery process for fPAES, if surgery is necessary?

11. Will I need physical therapy if I'm diagnosed with PAES? If so, how often and for how long?

12. Are there any potential complications or risks if PAES is left untreated?

13. Can I get a second opinion on the potential diagnosis and treatment of fPAES?
