Could tarsal tunnel syndrome affect your leg also besides your foot?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Tarsal tunnel syndrome indicates that anatomical structures in the canal are being squeezed. Those structures all start in the leg, hence symptoms can be felt in the leg as well. Nerve pain can travel in either direction. Also, if you have a problem with your foot, it can 100percent have effect on the leg as they are all connected.

Tarsal tunnel: Yes - the nerve being compressed causes problems with the affected foot and there is compensation in the leg. See your podiatrist for assistance
