Using medication or cortisone shots to ease the pain of your carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is putting you at risk. These temporary solutions actually hinder the healing process. As you mask your pain and continue to use your wrist, you cause further harm and risk permanent damage. Instead, you must heal the nerve and tendons and stop causing more harm.

As well, the side effects of medication with long term use leave you with other health issues and more pain. Treat your CTS properly. Stop the pain and further wrist damage!

Symptoms of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome

Although they vary from person to person, most of these symptoms are generally experienced on either the inside of the ankle and/or the bottom of the foot. The most common symptoms noted by those who suffer from Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome are:

Tarsal tunnel anatomy
  • Tingling, burning, or prickling sensation (also known as paresthesias), in your foot (often in your arch, toe or heal)
  • Vague or sharp pain, near the area where the nerve is squeezed (often in the sole of your foot, near your big toe, or along your nerve); this pain tends to be worse at night
  • Numbness, a loss of sensation in the area of skin that is supplied by the nerve
  • Atrophied (weakened) muscles in your inner foot (around the ball or arch of your foot) can affect your gait (the way you walk). You may have a tendency to overpronate (your foot rolls in too much), limp or feel uncoordinated as a result of too much pressure being placed on your foot
  • A lower foot deformity (like flat feet) can increase tension in the foot and may instigate the symptoms of TTS
You can feel these symptoms on their own in one location or in various locations across your foot and lower leg. They can be aggravated by overuse of your foot through walking, exercising or prolonged standing. These symptoms will often subside with rest however they will not disappear.

If left untreated, you are at risk of suffering from permanent nerve damage.
