I am experiencing all the symptoms of Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome and have been for over 8 months. After a nerve conduction test I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. Along with all the symptoms of neuropathy my left foot , toes, ankle and lower leg are swollen with sever pain 24/7 unless I take a pain reducer and then it is just less pain. I have been to 2 vein doctors and have varicose veins and venus insufficiency but was told this was not the cause of the swelling and pain. I was told I had lymphedema. I did not know what lymphedema was, but spent some time in that therapy for the swelling. Didn't work. Had a CAT scan and was told lymph nodes were not damaged and I had not had cancer that would have affected them. Seeing a neurologist because of neuropathy. She tells me she has NO Idea why my foot, toes, ankle, and leg are swollen, discolored and so painful. A neurologist mind you. Echp of heart was normal, orthopedic surgeon asked why I was there. (I was referred by the vein doctor???) I was referred to a rheumatoid doctor and have an appt Aug 6. Referred by neurologist. My primary care "I just don't know". Meantime my quality of life has reached a low. I am in pain and the neuropathy and swelling make me very unsteady on my feet. I did find Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome when I was told to be pro active by my neurologist and I have EVERY symptom described. I sent her a message on my portal saying I found this while being pro active and maybe I will hear back. I cannot and my family cannot believe that no doctor has been more active. I am . I really don't know where I am right now. Pain , more pain, depression and feeling left in the cold is really affecting me emotionally. Sorry for the rant.
