TARSAL TUNNLE SYNDROME

CAUSE --- Damage or compression of the                             tibial nerve(root value -                                           L4,L5,S1,S2,S3)...

SYMPTOMS --- ★Radiating pain in the medial                                  side of the foot(sole of the                                    foot means the part of the                                   facing the ground).

                            ★Even there will be sensory                                      loss(loss of touch                                                    sensations on the medial                                      side of the foot),Tingling                                        sensation or feeling like                                        shock when the leg is                                            dorsiflexed and eversion is                                    done.

                            ★There is increase in pain at                                  night time...... 

       TREATMENT---★Usage of steroids .

                            ★Usage of anti inflammatory                                  medication.

                            ★Releasing pressure on the                                    nerve by treating the                                              underlying cause.

                            ★Very rarely the surgeries are                                   done to treat this condition                                   which has high chances of                                     success which is good.

✓ The compression of the nerve occurs because of some reasons like ---

#Swelling 

#tumour(rare cases)

#Continous standing for long time and etc.....

✓ Some tests to confirm the tarsal tunnel syndrome are ---

#dorsiflexion-eversion test --- if the leg is dorsiflexed and eversed the person will feel shooting pain like shock movingin that area.

#tinels sign --- tapping on the nerve causes a shooting pain like shock is moving in that part.
