I do know or did know some about tarsal tunnel syndrome as i thought i had it at one time. I had actually fractured my heel bone , separate times on each foot. they were stress fractures. I was a runner for many years and really did abuse my poor feet. I only stopped running in 2008 after my hip replacement. At this point i just don't think it would do my poor back any good. It is not recommended with a hip replacement.
Glad you had a good appointment though. When i got my orthotics i was told to wean myself into them so ask if the doctor does not tell you this. I wore them for only a few hours each day for a few days, i really don't remember the schedule , but i sure was told not to just put them on and go!!!
I actually did just have foot surgery 2 weeks ago on 4 toes on my left foot., Due to my different gait and some neuroligical loss to my feet i developed hammertoes. one foot corrected, one to go. Not sure when i will be brave enough to do the right foot with no driving!!!
take care,
judy
