I have tts which is tarsal tunnel syndrome. Basically it is carpal tunnel but in the feet, ankles and lower legs. I had surgery on my right leg early this year in March which did not work so no way will I do the other leg. I was wondering if there is any one else on this forum that has been diagnosed with this? It would be nice to here about others experiences with this.

Never heard of it. Sorry I can't help. But the disorder totally makes sense if you're on your feet a lot or a dancer or something.

Yes I work 12 hour shifts in the ER. No sitting for me.

Yes some night when I am driving home from work I have to pull over so I can take my foot off the pedals for a little bit. It feels like the bottom of my feet are bruised and it hurts to just wear shoes. No cruise control because I am driving in city traffic. This a fairly new diagnosis and most doctors have not heard much about it. Sorry to whine but thanks for caring to comment.

I'd inquire with a chiropractor. I did when I had plantar fasciitis and it helped a lot.
