Specializes in Neurology

Tarsal tunnel: This is likely a tarsal tunnel syndrome from the compression of the posterior tibial nerve, you can confirm this with a neurologist who will do electrodoagnostics (emg/ncs) and perform a provocative maneuver to elicit the symptoms.

Ankles and calves have brownish freckle like discoloration. On occasion I will also get large O shaped or C shaped spots along with swelling. The red spots are hot to touch and sometimes the skin will become flakey or peel when the spots begin to go away.
