Neurologist needed???
I am following up with you on my possible TTS.
I am thinking that I should be seen by a neurologist.
With my symptoms, the pod is saying TTS.
After the cortisone shot Monday I am not any better, and in some ways worse. Do you think it would be of vaule to go?
Nerves are their domain, though I wonder what more they could do for the foot tingling and arch burning.
When I walk on carpet barefoot the carpet feels like it is starched….my sole is that sensitive.
As always, thanks for all your help…you are a remarkable person to be giving so much of your time to us!Melanie

When I have sent a patient to my friendly neurologist, sometimes it is frustrating to get back pages of graphs from nerve testing and still not know what the patient has. My understanding is that it can be difficult for a neurologist to demonstrate on paper if the tarsal tunnel syndrome is purely just sensory. They can easily show the motor nerve deficit. By all means, though, if you feel more comfortable discuss this with a neurologist. BTW, the EMG test is not the most fun you will have that day!
