Hello, just wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with Tarsal Tunnel or Peripheral Neuropathy in your feet that was attributable to swimming. I have been swimming for 10 years and my symptoms began about 5 years ago. I don't know that swimming is a factor, however any information that would help me narrow the cause down prior to surgery would be helpful.
Thanks,
Doug
Wondering how you're doing now? I have had tarsal tunnel syndrome for 18 months; some days are unbearable, some days are tolerable, but it's always there. I have met with numerous foot and ankle surgeons and the consensus seems to be that it's up to me to decide if/when my bad days outnumber good. I have just recently taken up swimming (July 2019), as I have had to official hang up my running shoes due to this, and I feel my pain is better managed but still absolutely still present--mostly swimming has given me a way to stay active with minimal impact. How long were you in pain before getting better? I am leaning towards pursuing surgery, but I know there are no guarantees.
