Have you tried PRP or prolotherapy ? if not, your last resort is microscopy which might bring you some complication. Where do you live? If you live in Asia, go to a liscensed acupuntrist, I did everything above except the surgery. It really helped!!! especially acupuncture!!

Hey there. I hope you see this. This video really put my mind to rest. I've had the tarsal tunnel for 9 months and have really been unable to achieve my fitness goals because of it. I'll follow these tips regularly and I feel positive they'll lead to improvement. Thanks so much

Wow that’s awesome. I am making an appt with podiatrist next week. Had ER visit looking for dot but not found. Foot/ankle has caused a slight limp. I don’t have much press power and can’t really heel walk on one foot after rolling ankle and it healed. It wasn’t all that bad of a sprain. have some tingling no pain though. GP said he thought it was Tarsal Tunnel but I will see at podiatrist.

[@kristitucker2428]

I'm glad I found you. I was trying to do my research on my ankle and what was going on. I have plantar fasciitis. So when the swelling and numbness and pain started to occur I just thought it was my foot normal stuff. Then after 6 months that wouldn't stop so I thought I'd go to the podiatrist she wanted to do surgery. But I'm not up for that I'm glad I found your video. I believe this stems from an old sprain when I was younger. The doctor said I should have broke the ankle but it swelled up to like a softball-size. But thankfully I've searched the founder videos and is better.

Excellent instructional video! You clearly and simply explain each exercise, demonstrate how to do it, and describe what NOT to do, which is equally important. The audio is slightly muffled, but I can still hear it. My only suggestion would be to wear shorts or roll up the pant legs, and remove your socks so it is easier to see what you are doing.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Thanks!

[@xcurrentbreeze6626]

I really like the format of this video. You demonstrated the exercises well, had clear and easy to follow instructions, and gave a recommended rep/time range which a lot of channels don't.

Excellent, excellent video. I have been suffering since 1st September 2020, foot went blood red with bruising, saw physio, said it wasn’t ligament, I thought I may have had an insect bite, because the pain came on instantly, so he discharged me. I have had months of phoning surgery with no success, eventually because of my persistence sent for an ultrasound and now waiting for phone consultation. (how ridiculous) I have diagnosed myself, it is EXACTLY what I am feeling, numbness, tingling, pins and needles, pain through the night. I can’t thank you enough, and will do the exercises religiously.

You're welcome. Glad it helped.

[@jdeno76]

I've been living (if you can call it that) with tarsal tunnel syndrome for 26 years after being misdiagnosed as only "flat footed" years ago when the pain first started. I was supposed to get casts on my feet as an infant, which I suspect led to it, but my parents couldn't afford it. It didn't become an issue until late HS and since then, it's kept me out if the military, cost me a few jobs, and worst of all, limited what I could do with my children who are grown now. It's now causing health issues with high blood pressure from constant inflammation. Weight gain from inactivity(also not helping my blood pressure) More weight=more pain=poorer health. So far my only relief from excruciating pain was sitting on a toilet. No other seat eases the pain, so I assume it's a nerve thing and that the toilet seat "ring" has something to do with it. I gave up on remedies years ago and could never afford the time off associated with surgery, so I'm excited to come across your video! I can't wait to try these exercises!

Even so the pain, inflammation and stiffness are 80% better, I have also improved in balance. Where I still have good and bad days is with tingling.

Dr. Jo would the exercise shown in the video be beneficial for mild foot numbness resulting from lumber disc bulge. Thanks.

Doctor Jo Acabo de ver su vídeo.He sufrido por 1 año los dolores en zona de gemelos y zona tibial siempre pensando que fuese ocasionado por un pellizcamiento en zona lumbar lo que me obligó a ver a varios quiroprácticos sin ninguna mejoría. Tengo sensación de entumecimiento en todo el pie con dolor y quemazón en dedo gordo y enrojecimiento y ligera inflamación de mi pie al terminar mi día de actividad y creo que como consecuencia sufro de fascitis plantar. Cree que la sensación de entumecimiento de mi pie sea ocasionado por túnel tarciano de ser así empezaré con sus ejercicios. O será problema de circulación.Soy corredor
