Pain in arch/TTS?
Hi,
I had my NVC test 3 weeks ago, it showed no neuropathy or TTS.
Hmmm….
I wonder.
Have persistant pain in instep and arch area of left foot. Only when walking, not at rest. If I pivot or flex my foot in a certain way I can trigger the burning nerve pain.
Is this indicative of TTS?
Or something else. Also, had to give up the gentle stretching I did, which was slowly pulling toes back and holding.
This produced much worse pain the following days.
If this is TTS, does this cause the nerve within the tunnle to be “pulled” on causing more painful symptoms?Previously had P.F. for several months.
Hopefully it is resolved.
Been seen by POD for 4 months now, then referred on to neurologist for NCV.
Thanks in advance for your response.

There are several reasons that I come across for this problem in my practice. 1. Wearing shoes that are of all man made material. This stuff does not breathe and the heat builds up in the shoe. There are over 200,000 sweat glands on the foot. 2. Heredity can also be a factor 3. Certain hormonal imbalances can be a cause. I tell my patients using powders is like closing the barn door after the horse is out. I usually will try the patient on an antiperspirant. The strength varies with how bad the problem is.
