What is tarsal tunnel syndrome?

Nerve compression: Is a compression neuropathy and painful foot condition in which the tibial nerve is compressed as it travels through the tarsal tunnel on the medial side of the ankle. Symptoms include pain, burning tingling, numbness and other "odd" sensations at the ankle, heel and/or foot level. See a podiatrist or orthopedist for diagnosis or treatment.

Entrapment tibial n.: This is entrapment of the tibial nerve in the tarsal tunnel on the inside of the ankle. This nerve entrapment causes pain and sensory loss in the heel and sole of the foot. There is also weakness of the small muscles that control toe movement.

Have it evaluated: Tarsal tunnel syndrome (tts), also known as posterior tibial neuralgia, is a compression neuropathy and painful foot condition in which the tibial nerve is compressed as it travels through the tarsal tunnel. This tunnel is found along the inner leg behind the medial malleolus (bump on the inside of the ankle). Symptoms include pain, burning and numbness.

See below: The tarsal tunnel syndrome is a fairly unusual condition in which the tibial nerve which runs along the inside of the ankle becomes compressed by the connective tissue that holds it in place. The symptoms are aching pain and numbness usually in the sole of the foot. Sometimes surgery is needed.

Compression: Compression neuropathy of the tibial nerve.

Nerve irritation : When the nerve on the inner ankle (posterior tibial) or one of its branches gets irritated via compression or stretching. The pressure will irritate the nerve with a resultant pain described as numbness, tingling, shooting typr pain and discomfort. The irritation can be felt local and sometimes as far as the toes...

Nerve entrapment: Tarsal tunnel is a nerve entrapment which is anatomically similar to the carpal tunnel in the wrist.
