Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome?

---

For the last three weeks my right foot has been burning, numb and tingly. It is extremely painful upon standing and walking, and a moderate ache when laying or sitting. over the last few days it has gone from tingly(hot) to numb(cold). I went to the emergency room and was diagnosed with tarsal tunnel syndrome. I would like to know if it copuld possibly be something else?
deffinately go to a specialist ASAP. when ever a limb gets cold, that's exstremely serious. it means that the blood isn't reaching your limb. if it goes for to long possible amputation if ur not careful. Also if ur a diabetic its more common  (+ info)

I have tarsal tunnel syndrome. What are some good inserts or shoes or sneakers that can help. I suspect that I will eventually need surgery as I had it on my right foot and now my left foot is having the same pain. I need something that will help me but also that won’t break the bank.
thanks

If I have my Tarsal tunnel syndrome (carple tunnel in ankle) if I don't do anything about it will it damage me

---

My dr. said that I have carple tunnel in my ankle (Tarsal tunnel syndrome). I haven't done anything to help it, my dr. told me to wear a better shoe. She said she could refer me to a foot doctor but didn't. She said to wear a better shoe to help it for now. If I wait to long can it damage my nerve in my toe (my toe is numb sometimes)?
You can cause yourself some significant pain if you continue to provoke the symptoms by wearing inappropriate shoes. Another thing to watch for is if you are putting your feet up on an office char 'legs', the horizontal bars underneath the chair that have the rolling castors on them. People put a lot of pressure on their ankles and toes by propping their feet up on these parts of the chairs. Lower the chair if you are doing this.  (+ info)

can tarsal tunnel syndrome affect your leg also besides your foot?

---

If so what does it feel like and where do you feel it?
speak to a specialist, as far as I'm aware tarsal tunnel syndrome can affect as far up the leg as the knee joints and also you can get carpel tunnel syndrome which is basically the same thing but it is in your hands as well. speak to your GP who can refer you to a neurologist for treatment.  (+ info)

What causes TARSAL TUNNEL SYNDROME?

---

I have pain/numbness in my knee/thigh also.
intrepid, below, don't be stupid. Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome is like carpal tunnel, but it is in the foot/ankle.
Tarsal (meaning toe bones) Tunnel Syndrome can have several causes. It most likely originates in an inflamed nerve or in excess usage of the toes to do manual-dexterous tasks...such as folks who are handicapped by not having both arms and have to depend upon their toes and feet to do the same work we would normally do with our fingers and hands.

It sounds like you probably do alot of exercise with your legs. Frankly, I would have a doctor give you a once-over to check this out if you think you have this problem.

It's the same kind of causes as you would find for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, except picture the feet in use here instead of the hands.  (+ info)

Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome and Flat Feet?

---

I was just diagnosed with TTS and I have flat feet. My insurance company will not pay for the custom made orthotics that are, according to my doc, very necessary for treatment/condition. Does anyone have any suggestions on how safe or effect it is to treat this with store bought arch supports instead of custom made. I will inform my doc when i go back in two weeks. I am concerned that I will cause more damage by not getting the custom made orthotics. any words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. Also, will the pain go away, it started so suddenly and it is very complicated to continue my normal lifestyle with this pain. thanks!!
and you will have pain. orthotics are life altering, especially when you need them. see if your doctor can come up with a payment plan. i wouldn't recommend over the counter ones, as the dr prescribed ones are casted to your feet.  (+ info)

I was diagnosed with Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome....?

---

...and I run everyday i wrap my foot and have supporting shoes....i know that i shouldn't run but i also stand 9 and a half hours a day working in a pharmacy i was told that i have to get surgery to correct the problem....i am trying to put the surgery off as long as i can at least through the summer...has anyone ever had the surgery done and is it really worth it? or will i continue to have problems afterwards?
This condition is similar to the nerve involvement in the wrist called carpal tunnel. However, tarsal tunnel is in the ankle area. It can be very painful.

I see a podiatrist for the same problem, which was diagnosed thru a MRI. I got shots every two weeks in the area above the ankle. Since starting the shots, my foot no longer cramps. It took about two months of shots to stem the problem. I had no exercise restrictions, but I'm not a runner anymore due to spinal problems.

I'd ask the doctor is surgery is really necessary.  (+ info)

Is Surgery for Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome AND Plantar Fascitis a good choice? PLEASE HELP!!!?

---

Ok, so my mom was diagnosed with BOTH these conditions. It all started with her walking for long distances (about 5 miles daily) in order to lose weight. In the beginning, she felt some discomfort, yet she continued walking. Well it is now a year later, and she's been diagnosed with both these conditions!

Now, she has had countless painful cortisone shots, she had her foot in a cast for like a month (it got worse after they removed the cast), she's had the cold therapy (the frozen water bottle one) and hot therapy (Epsom salt) done, and yet it's gotten to a point where she can barely go to the mall for 30 minutes without being in excruciating pain later on. She even had to go vote in a wheel chair, the pain was so much! I fear that if this continues, she will be permanently handicapped!

My question is, I know that surgery is usually a last resort, but has anyone had this surgery done and was it successful?

Please, this is a matter that is very important and dear to me. Please help!!!!
Sounds like she's a good candidate for surgery, since the pain is pretty intense. But surgery should be the last resort. The relief from surgery will last her a couple years to a decade, so it's not a permanent fix. Scar tissue build up is what will cause symptoms to return, so physical therapy after the surgery is extremely important. Has she tried seeing a chiropractor or an orthopedist? The issue might be originating in the hips. If her hips are uneven, the pressure is being sent to the knees ankle and feet. Her body is not working effeciently. Is she flat footed or does she have a high arch?

I've seen great success in the office for this issue. A combination of massage therapy, ultrasound and chiropractic usually helps.  (+ info)

What are the best treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome?

---

I have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in my right wrist. The doctor told me that its not severe enough for surgery, but it still bothers me a lot. Are there any at home treatments or remedies to help with the discomfort?
There are as usual no useful 'home remedies'. You give little detail I am afraid Stephanie, so I can only be very general. I assume that you are not currently pregnant, (one cause of carpal tunnel.) Others include hypothyroidism, which must be excluded by blood testing, weight gain and fluid retention.

Other than exercise and physio surgery is generally the only other option though all the possible causes need to be excluded first.  (+ info)

If someone has carpal tunnel syndrome, would that person necessarily have to have surgery?

---

I am asking this out of curiousity as my mom thinks she might have carpal tunnel syndrome.

I'm not asking for medical advice or anything; just want to be informed.

What is the difference between carpal tunnel syndrome and mere tendonitis? How invasive is carpal tunnel surgery anyway?
You do not have to have surgery at any time for any thing. You can change how you use your hands which will allow your wrists to heal and sometimes, the symptoms go away. Wearing a brace also helps the healing process as does ibuprofen on a regular basis. Tendonitis often is just pain, carpal tunnel sometimes is accompanied by swelling in the wrist and hand but without a doctor looking and feeling the tendons, it would be very difficult to differentiate. Carpal tunnel surgery is only a small incision but unless you stop the repetitive movement that caused the problem in the first place, it can come right back.  (+ info)
