Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment & Diagnosis

[@coolbrownboy64]

We need to give you a standing ovation for all the information you have given us.

[@jaybansal2377]

I'm really lost for words. This is like getting an expert appointment I could never otherwise afford. I have the tarsal tunnel syndrome due to suddenly excessive weighted deep squatting, and I really hope you realise you've helped someone halfway around the world out with this video. Thanks a lot.

[@jaybansal2377]

When it first started, it eventually gave me a massive sprain that hurt so much I couldn't walk for a few days. Eventually the inflammation stopped, but it still hurts a bit randomly or when I squat. I just hope I overcome this and am able to continue lifting to the best of my potential

[@MrProphetius]

How the TTS going ?

[@jaybansal2377]

@@MrProphetius It has healed now! I think it's because of the lack of activity during the lockdown that my ankle got a chance to heal. For the past 2-3 months I haven't had any pain at all thankfully

This video may have just saved my life. For 2 months I have had nerve pain on the bottom of my foot, The last month of that I've been bed bound, taking gabapentin and meloxicam prescribed by a podiatrist that basically just told me "Oh you have plantar fasciitis and nerve damage due to inflammation.. and we need to get the nerves to calm down before we do anything." So short-sighted. This video opened up every possible fact about what could have happened with me and allowed me to realize what did happened and is happening! THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!! If I was in the UK you would be my doc hands down. With all your tests basically I was able to narrow down that in the beginning of my injury I likely had tunnel tarsal syndrome from a flat foot and when I became bed bound is when it got the worst but then as it started to get better by my being bed bound I started to do errands, made possible by sticking socks in my shoes underneath my arches so I was only walking on my arches.. HELLO! way to irritate the nerves guy.. So then that sent me back again. And now here's the real kicker.. I was using my mom's walker that has a seat, to scoot around on. It has a backrest that is just a bar so when sitting on that thing for hours a day I'm leaning my L4/L5 against that bar! Strike number three is my favorite mode of transportation I've been wearing my construction knee pads to shuffle around the house, tensing my butt like crazy and hamstrings. The thing that was so messed up is I thought I was doing all the right things yet I was just getting worse and worse. And the dog had nothing to say about it.. The meds made me so anxious I had chills and seriously was wondering about having to commit suicide if it got any freaking worse. Wow. I will say that after this video I got online and started researching like hell all the nerves all the possible dysfunctions in that brought so much light into my world of terrifying unknowns. Physiopedia was pretty amazing at laying more stuff out. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH PEOPLE!! DONT TAKE ONE OPINION OR EVEN TWO UNTIL YOU HAVE RESEARCHED AND UNDERSTAND AS THOROUGHLY AS POSSIBLY IMAGINABLE

[@claudiar1372]

Same here but for 2 years, including same medications that I decided not to take anymore because I felt it was not helping.

[@travelswiththeredsuitcase5403]

Wow! You have just described my symptoms perfectly. Thought I had peripheral neuropathy. Have been receiving treatment from acupuncturist who said I had plantar fasciitis, but I have no pain, no walking issue just numbness and tight muscles. Never heard of this .. but it fits. Thank you. thank you. thank you.

[@michelemcnally2002]

Thank you so much for this thorough and clear explanation. I’m a long-distance hiker and started off thinking I had Plantar Fasciitis after completing a multi-week trek with poor-fitting shoes. Researching my symptoms I decided it sounded more like TTS but couldn’t understand why calf stretches seemed to make the numbness worse sometimes…your video has explained this. I now understand I have a combination of PF and TTS (due to over-pronation). I’ve invested in bespoke orthotics, a massage ball and new boots and I’ll now start a regime of gentle strengthening and stretching exercises, starting from the lower back and gluts downwards. I’m very grateful to you for making and sharing this video…it was my sunshine on a rainy day :-)

[@miladorotea2338]

I’m 71 and worked as an RN for 40 yrs. Now I have flat feet , from size 7 to size 8.5 and pronate. Use arch support shoes helps a bit but can’t walk for long periods as the pain is too much Used to do lunges and squats but had to stop. I think I have tarsal tunnel Thank you for enlightening me

[@klairabella1072]

Thank you, you have just explained what my symptoms are after a l4 / l5 back injury and not having any feeling in leg and foot leading to tingling, numbness, and tightness in my ankle. Wish we had someone like you in the UK. Spent money and so much time searching for answers.

[@454BGBLK]

Hello, just wondering, did you ever get that figured out? My wife just had an epidural and now she can’t feel both feet from ankle down. Only tingling and burning/stinging sensation on her feet

[@selwolf90]

Hello! I was told by my regular dr that I had plantar fasciitis and after doing physical therapy without it getting better I was sent to the foot dr. She told me she thought maybe it was tarsal tunnel. I like to learn about medical issues I may have so I found your video while looking for information. You saying that's it's often misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis made me feel like we are finally on the right track. Thank you for explaining things in a way that someone without the education of a dr can understand!

[@kaziabachna]

After two years of suffering with this syndrome today I had my second round of testing done. Finally my neurologist told me I have worst case of tarsal tunnel.They want me to discuss surgery options with another specialist because apparently they don’t have any cure for it but this video is so helpful and informative. Thank you

[@judymurray191]

I am so glad I found this video. I have had tarsal tunnel syndrome for 2-3 years. I have gotten custom orthotics that have not helped enough. I had to retire from hairdressing because the neuropathy in my feet got to be debilitating. I have been convinced that some of the symptoms come from my back because the numbness and unbearable pins and needles are much worse when I sit. My primary doctor is skeptical because I don’t have back pain per say. He did finally order an MRI but my insurance declined it because it wasn’t warranted by their criteria, apparently. The podiatrist gave me exercises but some made it worse, as you said could happen. Thank you for showing me that issues with the lower back can,in fact, be a factor.

Wow. Thanks! I had previously been diagnosed with Posterior Tibial Tendonitis, got new orthotics, rest and rehab, no problems for 8 years. 3 years later, I started to have pain in my calf muscle, then low back pain and was diagnosed with L5-S1 facet arthritis and spondolisthesis, grade 1. Lots of PT, injections, etc. Just learned to live with it, but still able to hike and x-c ski moderate distances - 6+ miles. The ankle pain started up again, sharply while x-c skiing. But I also have very tight calf and hamstrings on that side, and the chronic low back pain. So now I know to go back for more treatment on the low back issues.

[@glossie6338]

Thanks for this thorough video. For some time I have been fearing peripheral neuropathy but as the pain and burning sensation is more at the ankle and bottom of the heel rather than at nerve extremities, maybe it it is Tarsal - I shall have a drink tonight and speak to the doc tomorrow.

This was such a helpful video, thank you so much for putting this video out. I have had some sensations of heat in my lower right leg and now it hurts pretty badly in the arch and just above on the top portion of the foot above the arch. I had to stop running because of this and have had to turn to using a stationary bike to continue cardio in my daily exercise routine. Even walking through a store for too long can cause pain for hours after. I’ve had a plantar fasciitis diagnosis previously, so I knew this was not the same. My pain is significantly better after resting. The weird heat sensation I periodically get led me to believe this was nerve related. Thank you for this information about a syndrome I had no prior knowledge about. Now I know some questions to ask when I can finally get to the sports medicine doctor.

The treatment has to be tailored to whatever caused your case, so there are not specific exercises that work for all cases and some cases may not even need any exercises or can feel worse if you exercise it. So, perhaps get it assessed properly by a physio who can then help you understand what is needed in your case. If you want help with your rehab and an exercise plan, this is something that our team of physios can assess and help you with via video call. You can read more about how the online consultations work here: www.sports-injury-physio.com

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

It is sometimes useful to seek a second opinion. If your symptoms are over the inside of the foot then the peroneus tear won't really have anything to do with it because that tendon runs on the outer side of the ankle/foot.

Foot drop is usually related to injuries to the Tibialis Posterior tendon (which often accompany tarsal tunnel syndrome). The only videos we have on Tib Post tendon injuries are related to tendonitis or tendinopathy but foot drop is often related to a tear.

Thanks so much, I thought this was plantar fasciitis but now I’m thinking it isn’t? My left inside ankle and very back and bottom of the left heel hurts on standing. (Like a bad bruise) I’ve been lazy about wearing correct shoes with orthotics lately and this came on after a long day on my feet without support. Even my low back hurts occasionally along with weird nerve shocks under my right buttock. My left hip is probably telling me it’s time for a hip replacement? Right one’s had a resurfacing already. Doctors scare me, seems like all they ever offer us is surgery…

[@marksapp86]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been waiting for something that explains my nerve symptoms. About a year ago I was cooking some dinner for a girlfriend and I thought it would be fun to serve it in the bathtub together. While carrying the food to the bathroom I knew I had to step into the bathtub which was high step. So taking a big step was needed. After getting one foot in and holding my balance and my plate of food, my second leg hit the corner of the tub rather hard right on the shin. I didn't feel any pain put food went up in the air and landed all over my girlfriend in the bath. We both sat there and wondered what just happened. I got out of the tub and began to clean up. I began to feel a funny sensation on the bottom of my foot as if tape was stuck at the base of my toes. I didn't think much of it thinking it was probably something I stepped on. After cleaning up, the sensation was still there like something was stuck to the bottom of my foot. I went to bed that night thinking what did I hit on my leg to make this nerve feel this way..? Whenever I woke up the next day I walked around didn't feel that feeling but as I continue walking the weird sensation came back. I've reached out to friends asked their advice on if they had ever hit their shin in the manner I did. I've researched many things like nerve damage, tibial nerve damage. My girlfriend thought that I had plantar fasciitis, yet the symptoms didn't match. Any advice?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

It does sound like a nerve that got hit. It may be useful to consult a podiatrist who can assess it for your and see what you have to do to help it calm down - perhaps your foot requires a bit of support for a while to help it recover but I can't tell without assessing you and podiatrists are best with feet.

[@marksapp86]

@@SportsInjuryPhysio thank you, I'm sure I hit something and it's been bothering me for quite some time. The bottom of my foot goes numb when standing or walking. It's mainly just on the ball of my foot and around the toes. I have to sit down after standing for a period of time. I don't want to take any medication. I do think it could be a pinched nerve. That's the only explanation. Again, it hit hard but my shin wasn't bruised and it wasn't in pain afterwards. I WAS very shocked that I wasn't in pain after hitting it. Yet, the result was that very irritating feeling of the bottom of my foot going numb.

Love this video, all the science really well explained thank you! Can tarsal tunnel syndrome ever manifest similar to Achilles tendonitis?

Then since I’ve ramped up my calf raises, I’ve started having this funny feeling in my little toes. Please help!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

It sounds as if you may have irritated the sural nerve - it runs along the Achilles and to the outside of the foot. And doing stretches or calf raises can often irritate it further. This article explains it - I know it talks about tingling but sometimes it just causes pain and numbness - it is also possible that it can occur together with Achilles injuries: www.treatmyachilles.com/post/tingling-around-your-heel-and-achilles-tendon-causes-and-treatments

It really depends on what is causing your case - usually it is best to first address the cause e.g. get orthotics or whatever is deemed to be necessary - if that doesn't help, then consider the injection.

[@jyotsnaraichura5382]

Wow best explain. Better than GPS xx thank you very much

[@Heaps60]

Thanks very much - I have just had a cortisone and nerve-splaying injection that was amazing but unfortunately not fixed the problem. The top of my foot is no longer numb and I can now move my toes. I am booked to have another injection 6 weeks post. My physio iwhos fabbo has now recommended that it may also be the Baxter nerve that is also trapped. I have heel pain as well when I am on my feel for a long time. ihave had plantar F so I know what that pain is like and I think it is different as I can walk in the morning. I broke my anke coming up 3 years ago in Feb and it has been no stop treatment and pain and two ops already. Now the surgeon is saying maybe the suregery for the entrapment, what is the recovery like for this? Thanks for you video it is a great help.

Amazing advice ❤

[@shereeforeman8873]

Hi thank you thoroughly enjoyed your video I have pain as you describe sometimes in my left foot& also have planter fascia sometimes too with a thickened area in my Achilles heel too am going to talk to my GP but any advice would be great thank you.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DVerdict]

Amazing information every time

[@9080G]

Very good explanation .

[@deemaopolski6769]

What about icing or KT tape? Will either of those help, especially after running?

[@janettecalderon8664]

If you are experiencing these symptoms like I have for the past 9 years, I don't find that anything has helped me get better. I have gone to physical therapy, done at home treatments like icing, heating, have had a cast on, now I am constantly having to wear a brace but I am always in pain. My doctors have not been taking my pain seriously and so I did my own research and now hopefully I can get surgery on my foot. Idk what else you have tried if you feel like anything has helped you let me know...

[@nateeizzle1581]

Tape definitely helps me. It supports and lifts my muscle so it feels it gives the nerve a break.

From L.a I love your content.

God Bless You, Thank You Very Much!

[@denydeny4014]

congratulations for the channel, I just signed up, who had TTS once, if it deflates the nerve, can it be cured forever? what's your opinion please?

[@californiagumbo8702]

Perfect info. THANK YOU!

Our pleasure!

[@juliegarcia6807]

What are your thoughts on the blood plasma injections in the area with pain. Thank you for this info.

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

It can work for tendinopathy (if the tendons are the source of pain) but not really for tarsal tunnel. If your doctor is suggesting it ask them how it is meant to work - that should provide you with a better idea of what they will target.

[@nrusim]

After many searches, this exactly describes my problem which I have developed of late playing table tennis. I feel I have over stressed the tissue & need to reduce weight a bit to recover faster. Its a long period recovery I guess

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Good luck with your recovery!

[@killerzone3355]

I was bucked off a horse and landed on my back breaking two flipper bones, the ones on the side of our spine. Based on your information, this could contribute to pain around my ankle area an at times up my leg.

[@hauntedhillsfarmdobson4956]

I have the nerve pain in the bottom of my right foot when I bend over. If feels like a really painful “pull”. It also hurts when I step down certain times and I did just try the test and it also tingles when I press on the “tarsal tunnel” on the side of my ankle. Also, the area on the bottom of my foot that feels painful is numb when I prick it. Since bending over triggers it, would that suggest the nerve is compressed in my back?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Not necessarily but it might. Bending over can also trigger it if the nerve is trapped in the area of the ankle and not able to slide as you bend over. Your doctor should be able to distinguish between the two as they should both be considered as possible causes and investigated to rule out or in.

[@MarkMc70]

Thanks for this great overview. I hope I can get some help with my tarsal tunnel syndrome. It’s quite obviously due snowboarding and the boots that really clamp down on my heel. I am hoping to get a cortisone shot really soon. If that fixes it then I plan on seeing a boot fitter. I just wonder if the shot works, if I have to get some kind of protective cover over that area. I have a positive Tinel’s sign, and the way I figured out what a Tinel’s test was is because there was an obvious abrasion there from the boots. I really hope I can keep that winter activity up.

[@nataliamelnikova3080]

Hi. I had total right knee replacement 3 years ago. I started feeling strong tension, shooting pain at the right leg tarsal tunnel area right after surgery. Since then I feel numbness, tingling, tension and shooting pain below and above the ankle, going to the big toe and to the inner side of the right shin. Three years of physical therapy did not help. Finally, I was diagnosed with Tarsal tunnel syndrome and scheduled for surgery in April 2023. I have L4, L5 mild narrowing and had steroid injection for law back pain this summer. Doc, who scheduled my surgery did not pay attention to my spine problem. After watching your presentation, I am not sure if this surgery will help. Any ideas what treatment would be best for me?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

I can't really make any useful comments as I don't know your full history and not assessed you but if you're unsure then I think it may be useful to consult your spine doctor and ask them for their opinion as they will be best places to figure out if your nerve pain is coming from your back or your foot.

[@vid9191]

Hands down the best video I've seen on this topic on KZbin. Thank you for explaining in a manner that was easy to understand. I have been suffering for 10 months and have received conflicting diagnoses (one ortho dr said I have PF and not TTS, and an ortho PT said the opposite). I am seeing a podiatrist soon who I hope can help me with a correct diagnosis. It's possible I have a combination of both. Question: Do you advise against walking barefoot (esp. on hardwood floors) for either/both conditions? I've heard that said about PF but how about TTS? Thank you!

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Yes, avoid walking barefoot on hard surfaces with TTS.

[@vid9191]

@@SportsInjuryPhysio Could you please comment on exercises we should avoid with PF and TTS, esp. TTS? I now avoid high-impact, but my nerve issue gets worse when I do some low-impact workouts on KZbin. I can’t tell which exercise(s) are causing this because it gets worse after I’m done with the workout. I do know I feel the nerve when I kick my leg out straight in front of me for an ab move. But are there other moves we should not be doing like back lunges, squats or something else…? Thanks!

[@IntuitiveEnergiesOffical]

Thank you very informative ❤

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

You are welcome!

[@pammigill8098]

Thanks so much for valuable info do every podiatrist have that shock wave theory in their clinic? I can ask my podiatrist

[@jenm3281]

Thank you so much. I have been seeing a podiatrist for six months. He does not listen at all. Appointments are less than three minutes long. I’ve had injections for plantar fasciitis which did no good. Did have an injection for tarsal tunnel syndrome and it helped for about a week. He does not answer questions or take the time to listen to anything I have to ask of him. My pain started in both feet at exactly the same time. Do you have any thoughts on whether or not the issue may be coming from somewhere else in my body since onset for both feet was the same time?

[@SportsInjuryPhysio]

Foot pain can be referred from the lower back but it is also possible to get this in both feet at the same time if you do an activity that strains both.
