Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome (TTS) means that you have symptoms that can make it uncomfortable or unbearable to walk.
The symptoms can be pain, burning, nervy sensations or tingling on the sole (bottom) of your foot. You may also feel it on the arch side of your ankle or in your heel.

She has numbness and severe pain in one foot which may have come from an old injury. She wondered whether she will be able to get well again.
Of course, the earlier any pain is stopped in its tracks, the better the chances of a complete recovery.
Still, I believe in my heart that bodies are very smart and logical and capable of healing when they are given what they need. I love bodies! They want to be well. Sometimes they just need some help.
Here is part of my response to my reader.
“By now you have hopefully received my response by email. I’m glad you finally got a diagnosis. I suggested in the email several things you can do to start the process of healing.”
