Question:
If I have my Tarsal tunnel syndrome (carple tunnel in ankle) if I don't do anything about it will it damage me
My dr. said that I have carple tunnel in my ankle (Tarsal tunnel syndrome). I haven't done anything to help it, my dr. told me to wear a better shoe. She said she could refer me to a foot doctor but didn't. She said to wear a better shoe to help it for now. If I wait to long can it damage my nerve in my toe (my toe is numb sometimes)?
Answers:
You can cause yourself some significant pain if you continue to provoke the symptoms by wearing inappropriate shoes. Another thing to watch for is if you are putting your feet up on an office char 'legs', the horizontal bars underneath the chair that have the rolling castors on them. People put a lot of pressure on their ankles and toes by propping their feet up on these parts of the chairs. Lower the chair if you are doing this.
