: Mt foot doctor told me the same thing but when I went to see a nerosurgeon he told me that if he did the tarsal tunnel surgery he would probably make my feet worse and he said there really was nothing that could be done for them. However he did prescribe steroid injections which did help a bit. my foot doctor said that he could do tarsal tunnel surgery on my feet which would release the nerves and the sensation would return.....but I dont beleive this could be remedied so simply. I have had neurologists tell me that nothing could be done.
: surely, if surgery was an option, they would have told me. Has anyone else heard of this surgery?
