Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (TTS) occurs when the posterior tibial nerve is compressed as it travels through the tarsal tunnel in the ankle, leading to pain, numbness, or tingling in the foot. It can result from injury, swelling, or structural abnormalities. Early diagnosis and treatment help prevent long-term nerve damage.
Causes of Tarsel Tunnel Syndrome:
- Ankle injuries or trauma
- Flat feet or high arches
- Swelling due to diabetes or inflammation
- Tendonitis or ligament thickening
- Abnormal foot structures or gait
- Bone spurs or cysts compressing the nerve
- Pregnancy-related changes in foot structure
Symptoms of Tarsel Tunnel Syndrome:
- Pain, burning, or tingling in the foot or ankle
- Numbness in the sole of the foot
- Pain worsens with activity or prolonged standing
- Weakness in the foot or difficulty walking
- Swelling or tightness around the ankle
- Sensitivity to touch in the affected area
