Sinus Tarsi Syndrome (Outer Ankle Pain)

[@Adam-we3ey]

FINALLY, a professional who knows what he is talking about. First mention of FLAT FEET anywhere

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Thanks Adam! More to come!

[@razorart1371]

This is exactly what I have been dealing with for over 5 years now. It doesn't appear on X-Rays and the doctors I have seen seem to think there is nothing wrong, to the point where I have reached a limit to acquiring professional assistance in my community on Canadian healthcare. The pain, especially when the ankle locks up, is so severe that I have been out of work for 2 years without compensation. Thank you for explaining this injury. Hopefully I can now find someone to follow up on it and help me out. This injury has really altered my life for the worse. Best wishes.

[@CryptoDon69]

bro what did you do? canadian healthcare sucks nowadays thats why i didn't go to a doctor ive been dealing this pain for 2 months now

[@razorart1371]

I finally solved my own issue by altering my diet. Oddly enough, cutting out all dairy, wheat products, and foods containing MSG and palm oils, the pain went away. I can now jog again, have lost 20 pounds, and am back to work.

[@tillysanders2593]

I have electrical zaps of pain in this area even when resting and it’s excruciating . Am grateful to have found this . Does anyone suffer from this debilitating sort of pain ?

[@sharonclark810]

I have exactly what you describe since aug.2022 glad I found this video

Yes, for over 15 years. I have RA.

[@tillysanders2593]

@Sharon Clark If you don't mind me asking , were you diagnosed with a reason for your pain . I've had 3 different diagnosis , Peroneal tendon Sural nerve , Mortons Nuroma ..

[@musa81]

Suffered with this issue for years and its only after your video that I can share its name with my clinical team. Thank you.

[@Fucev]

Did a 16 mile long run when my previous was only 10 and my weekly mileage was only 28 a week. I didn’t take a rest day the next 2 days and got this. Lesson learned

woohoo! cong4ats to all of us figuring this out

[@aradhyakashyap4145]

me too from last 6 months

[@azsegrxdhtfgvijnkomlewrhtg9508]

Yeah I had pain and weakness there. What helped me was standing calf raises. I had immediate relief after doing a 5 set and 5 rep workout. The ankle feels much better now.

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Yes, that would help since calf raises open up that sinus tarsi

[@CandySugar-nh6uf]

Will calf raises help with an old shepherds fracture that is creating this pain in the ankle and heel?

[@moneygoodmauri7859]

Ill try this out

[@cryptojoecoin5480]

How are you doing now? I started this based on your comment, and it’s already helped! How many times did you do this per day?

[@youn6852]

Finally, I understand and put a name on the problem. A huge thank you. ❤

[@bluebellcrushedvelvet]

Wow!!!! finally!! I think that this is what I have! I've been trying desperately to find some self help videos and everything is mostly Achilles tendinitis or some other ligaments, finally I think I found it!!! Pretty much everything you were saying fits my profile!! And it's exactly what I was doing, trying to do those rolling motions to try and relieve the crackling and tendon grinding that is giving me sooo much pain!! It's not working 😩😩 exasperation comes to mind!!! I keep having pinched bloody anchor for NO reason at all!! Just walking!

[@keithblack1336]

I self diagnosed this condition myself as my first consultant said there was nothing wrong. I finally convinced them I had STS so they operated. I had some relief for a few months but it’s now back , the pain is incredible I’ve had various cortisone injections none of the helped. I don’t know of anything that helps the pain I’ve been living with this since 2015 it’s changed my life .

[@natescorner]

I think I have this, it’s dull but it’s really bad sometimes. Had it for years since pre pandemic

[@habtamusium8646]

nice solution . I Just plan to apply tonight at my wife problem . many thanks !

Just watched this, and it works, thanks sooo much!

[@gusgambatese6759]

Where are you located? I'VE HAD ANKLE PAIN FOR 3 MONTHS AND NOTHING HAS HELPED. TRIED EVERY DOCTOR IN SOUTH FLA

[@62Cristoforo]

I went from years of wearing heavy, steel toed work boots to fancy Italian leather dress shoes in one day, so I could look nice for some formal event I was attending. No support. Collapsed arch? By the end of the day I was hobbling to get home. Tons of pain, even while resting in bed. The pain can be so bad I lose the ability to stay upright; my strength in that foot totally disappears if I stand on it. It’s like a pinched nerve or tendon.

[@frankt7521]

I'm 66 with a history of many sprains while playing basketball in my younger years. Now I have sharp pains in right ankle in the area described in video when doing yard work (uneven surfaces) and on my feet for several hours. Pain, at times, will almost bring me to my knees to get weight off it. I wonder if I have this sinus tarsi syndrome. Haven't played ball in 35+ years.

[@vgtgoat]

get it checked and treated! I'm dealing with the same and I'm happy to learn from this video that surgery is a pretty standard and successful option

[@ProSkyline]

I got hurt playing basketball too and that pain is getting worse

[@yoric6939]

I have this and it’s agony

[@gusgambatese6759]

Not sure I have this, but my symptoms are identical. It is agony. Doctors can not figure out what's wrong. Wearing a boot was excruciating pain.

[@surroundedbyjaggoffs]

It happened to me with flat feet but the Doctor called it something else!!!

[@ThePhire05]

I have cerebral palsy and was diagnosed with this a few weeks ago. I am flat footed and will soon need surgery

[@bvalenz]

Did you try insoles 1st? I used SuperFeet green insoles & they REALLY helped. But recently, my left 🦶 is flaring up like a 🦂 sting every now & then even when I’m not on my 👣. Will be seeing a podiatrist soon

[@mostafahasanian5421]

Thanks!

[@mertronsken]

I noticed a pain in that area but only when I'm squatting heavy. Been looking for more info. Found it here

[@ad2kk12]

I rolled my ankle severely while playing football 9 years ago. I've been dealing with this excruciating pain all these years & I just can't seem to get rid of it!

[@bvalenz]

I used SuperFeet green insoles that fixed the pain. If I don’t wear them & walk in 👟 or 🩴, top of my feet get sore More recently, i was standing @ thought a wasp got in my left 👟& stung me. It felt what I imagine a 🦂 sting would feel like. I need to get it checked out again as this was far worse than when I was originally diagnosed several years ago & resolved w/insoles.

[@jewbagel5969]

This is Great thank you

[@303sjrz]

What type of Orthotic is best?

[@Sal112350]

I have always this problem while gardening. What I do is have a brace 10 bucks from amazon, strap it, rest your feet, elevate, take tylenol if their is pain. The next day it will disappear. Please don't do any surgery, they made it worse. I know some people who did with back pain, foot pain become worse on their condition.

[@thermoplastischesaethylend1046]

"Next day gone" me having it for 1 year already

[@flippers9052]

i often have this problem after standing too long and i am aware that my foot turns out and compress that ankle area. i believed this is a flat foot problem because my foot looks flat, but recently i did a "wet foot test" which i wet my feet and step on a cardboard to see the footprint. in that test i found i may actually have high arch, so i am really confused now

[@theplug4981]

It is 100% a flat foot problem. It's worse if you're over weight doing 9 hours shift on your feet in uncomfortable steel toe cap shoes. It's unbearable

[@ramlanfauzi8567]

Thanks

[@jamesa6272]

3-4 months. Jeez mine has been over 4 years

[@kaywalls8790]

I think this may be my problem. Been dealing with this pain for 5 weeks. Hurts at night. Sadly my job is standing for 8hrs a day.

[@patriciascott4211]

I have just been diagnosed with this along with Metatarsalgia. Plantar Fasciitis, Morton’s neuroma and a bunion . I’m so miserable. I have had surgery about 8 years ago for plantar fasciitis but didn’t get much relief. I’m on my feet all day at work and have a bulging disc as well from a old fractured vertebrae. The foot pain increases the upper back pain and makes me crazy. It’s depressing

[@vg3222]

How much do you weigh?

[@Nabiyah1]

Your spine has more to do with most, if not all of your foot problems, at the causative level, than you might realize. Look deeper into finding a GREAT Chiropractor, not just a good one. You need a great one & you will find more relief than you gotten in the last 8 years (very likely). Praying for your full recovery. May you be blessed & pain free. 💜

[@marky1974]

I found Pro 2 Plantar fasciitis inserts really helped with my pain..available on amazon..not expensive..

If this is what I have then it’s the lost painful thing I’ve felt at time…. Would always happen mid way through my day, and after the day was over OMG the pain… the worse pain was actually having it suspended in the air…. Omg! Why was that the worst…

[@Teleman01]

Is this something that can come and go once every couple months? Or is this something that's more permanent?

Dr where are you located? I’m in L.A I been suffering with this similar type of pain for 2 years since I had my Brostrom surgery on the opposite ankle. I noticed this pain when I was post-op and did not have necessary DME especially when I showered I put all my weight on my good foot😢😢 since then I’ve had this off and on with a few injections now becoming more frequent . I’ve had CT of the ankle early this year which did not show ligament abnormalities.

what If only get this feeling during running? could it still be the same problem?

Best shoes for helping with STS? Motion Control shoe like the New Balance 928? Or a more cushioned, neutral shoe? Thanks for your help.

[@jessie8081]

I hit my outer ankle on a hard metal object and I think it caused sinus tarsi. But its been 4 months and I still have it. Its gotten better though. Doctor gave me anti inflammatory which helps and an ankle brace. But why is it taking so long to heal? Its just an annoyance and I cant do normal hikes.

[@yami7192]

Yesterday I came from a soccer game and didnt notice the pain in my ankle right away, The problem is that I'm just about to start cross-country practices in two days.. shoul I go yall? I mean, as of today it really hurts to just walk 😓

Is this detectable through MRI?

You are welcome!

[@kevindouglas2060]

I think I have this problem. I went to a doctor years ago he prescribed some orthotics. I don't remember what my insurance paid but it was a lot. My portion was $600. I was told that they would last about 6 years. They fell apart in a month. They didn't help that much. I copied them the ones I make last a little longer mostly because I can repair them. The problem with doctors in general is all they do is try to get you out the door. Sometimes I think they are extra unhelpful so you won't bother them again. It just seems hopeless .

[@bvalenz]

When I was 1st diagnosed about 12 years ago, they wanted to build me a custom insole that would’ve cost a lot even w/insurance. I asked if I could try something off-the-shelf - he said SuperFeet Green. I immediately felt the difference & they cost $30-$50. But recently, my left 🦶 is flaring up like how I imagine a 🦂 sting would feel. I was standing & actually thought a wasp got in my shoe & stung me there. Later when I was off my feet & barefoot, the pain would shoot hard. Time to go back to the Dr to see what can be done. I jump roped a few days ago for the 1st time in years (& several pounds later) & have a feeling that caused the flare up

Thank you for this video. I have this because of my flat feet. I should get some orthotics. Do you have any brands you would recommend?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Yes, in the description of this video

[@cicliolmo7152]

so I had a gout inflamation on my big toe a few weeks ago and was hobbling around in a bit of a supination position because it was too painful for my big toe to have contact with anything. Now I have this nagging pain to what I think is being discussed here, sinus tarsi syndrome. Do you think this caused my pain ? It's been a a few weeks now, and the gout pain is gone, but this sinus tarsi pain is still present (?)

[@МихаилЧерников-п2т]

Is it curable? Possible to get rid of? I suffer from it

[@thermoplastischesaethylend1046]

Found a way?

[@MuhammedMusthafa-sf1cb]

Hi

[@flamebirdsant1985]

I sprained my ankle 20 years ago and have a large bulge from exactly that area. Dr said it is a limpoma. I broke that same ankle 3 years ago and had ORIF on both tibia & fibia with metal plates on both sides. The bulge today is the size of a golf ball and causes me a lot of pain. I cannot point my foot or move from side to side. Some nights after long day, the pain is excruciating. Could all this be Sinus tarsi syndrome? Dr said to have limpoma removed if causing pain but I’m not sure I want another surgery

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Not likely to be sinus tarsi syndrome

[@aradhyakashyap4145]

what we have to do

[@OrthoEvalPal]

I would start with an orthotic to see if that helps.

[@Aristele]

Is it possible for an ankle sprain to turn into sinus tarsi about a decade after the injury? My ankle hasn't been injured recently but for the last 3 years I've been dealing with intermittent pain at my ankle and tingling sensations in my foot and my GP couldn't find anything wrong. This syndrome is what most closely matches the pain location. I badly sprained that ankle as a preteen but my parents never brought me to a doctor to get it checked out, so I wonder if maybe it just didn't heal right?

[@OrthoEvalPal]

There is an increased risk of sinus tarsi syndrome especially after a history of repeated ankle sprains. Have you seen an orthopedic specialist for this?

[@Aristele]

@@OrthoEvalPal I haven't seen a specialist yet, had some other medical stuff that took the spotlight at that time :( Just been to my GP to make sure it wasn't a clot or anything serious. So far I've been using icepacks to manage the discomfort, but I'm going to see if I can book an appointment with a specialist soon! Thank you so much for your reply! 😁🙏

[@carguytim9913]

I think I have this, I’m flat footed and I drive a trash truck so I’m constantly on and off the throttle and getting in and out of the truck. Anything you recommend that’ll help me besides orthotics? I can get custom orthotics through my wife’s work but you mentioned you don’t like the foot to do the “alphabet” swing lol

[@OrthoEvalPal]

Sometimes wearing a lace up brace can help prevent the ankle from rocking side to side. Not easy to wear in a boot, though.

[@BexfromTexas]

​@OrthoEvalPal I need a pic of this brace, so I can buy. I sprained my ankle yrs ago and am still dealing with pain. I think this is it. I haven't been able to exercise or walk properly & it's caused weight gain & I've been thin my entire life! I'm now walking with a walker most of the time due to outer ankle pain. So now I hv planter fasciaitis & tight calves. I went to physical therapy which they didn't help at all. I thought at that time maybe it's peroneal issue. I hv ballet in my past.
